Hello again! Not much to report, progress continues as usual. I've increased the intake of raw vegetables to shakes to see if it might resolve the sleep disruptions I've been having. When I can sleep I just wake up at specific times at night (2am specifically the last 3 days for no reason?), or...

Hello again everyone. Happy Monday wherever you might be. So let's talk about some ups and downs the last few days: Ups: The month of January has closed and I lost another .2 stone/3 pounds the last week, bringing the total to close to 19 lbs/1.35 stone just for January! Numbers have been...

Hey guys! Happy Friday/Saturday depending on where you might be. The night life has been a drag as of late without the presence of dining out or drinking, but I've been keeping myself busy with work to address that. 2 months of timeout on that is a stretch, but won't kill. The averages appear...

I might need to be more specific. Earlier in 2015 I reached a goal of 180 (12.8 stone) pounds using more traditional methods. Low carb, high protein diet and regular exercise. While it did improve my numbers, I found that it was not accomplishing anything resembling a reversal and that the gut...

In order to lose weight around the organs it requires a pretty extreme regimen. I'd tried unsuccessfully to do so over the last year with a very controlled diet and exercising 4-5 times a week but it didn't seem to accomplish what I wanted. If you have a lot of stubborn fat around your...

Daily update. Numbers are looking good and the weight continues to melt off at a steady rate. I've developed something resembling 'keto breath,' a metallic flavor in the mouth similar to what you get from very low carb diets when your body enters a fat burning state. Realized the Atkins shakes...

Hey guys, daily update. I think I'm over the secondary 'hump' I encountered last week-Which was really difficult for me. A sudden bout of intense hunger pangs and weakness were getting the better of me, but I've recovered from that in a really good way and it's been a lot easier. Numbers still...

Hey Marfat, thanks for the kind words. Here's my routine schedule- it usually goes as follows: 9am- Glass of water or coffee/tea, supplements 10am - Shake 12pm - Salad 2pm - Shake #2 4pm - Veggie stick snack 5pm - Metformin 500 mg 6pm - Salad 6:30pm - Walk dog (20-30 min) 8pm - Cooked hot meal...

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates! For some reason I couldn't update my thread the last few days (It mentioned anti-spam measures, no idea!), but the issue seems to have resolved itself. Last few days have been particularly tough for some reason-But I held on and kept my mind on the...

Hey Yorkie, I'm not sure if it's a cure of any sort-But it is considered a reversal of the condition. If you eat like **** and gain back the weight the symptoms will surely reappear in some form or the other. A general rule of thumb is that the more weight you lose, the more under control your...

Update: It's been 2 days since the last update. Have been dealing with a few issues, mainly some exhaustion and light headed spells later in the day (Usually after coming home from work). Yesterday I had some hunger pangs, but just had some water and coffee to address it. Have added a nap and...

5 portion controlled meals a day keep your body metabolising constantly, and full throughout without crazy highs and lows with blood sugar levels. Nutritionists typically recommend this approach to diabetics over 2-3 meals a day, which can result in sugar spikes, especially if long breaks are...

I'd think that transitioning straight into normal eating post NCD would be a disaster. My doctor and nutritionist strongly recommended as following: -Phase 1:Newcastle Diet, very light exercise (2 months) -Phase 2: Low carb or ketogenic with moderate exercise (2-3 months) -Phase 3: Portion...

Updates: Did my weekly weigh in and I'm down another 5 lbs/.4 stone ! Also was surprised by my numbers following my first night not taking Januvia, I actually clocked a resting blood sugar in the morning of a 4.1 / 74. Crazy. Not going to get too excited yet as it's a matter of seeing how these...

Update: Everything's going according to plan still. After discovering Januvia was behind some of the joint pain I'd been experiencing lately I've made the decision to discontinue using it as of tonight. It put an abrupt halt to my weightlifting a few months back, and I spent thousands of...

Hi guys! I've been here for a few days but realized I forgot to make an introduction thread. Name is Sirio and I'm a 30 year old Type 2. I'm over on this wonderful forum after discovering the Newcastle diet approach, and am actually currently undertaking the treatment with a detailed progress...

Holy moly that's a great post man. Some really good information in there, and especially hearing about Carlos' story is kind of amazing. Had no idea it could trigger such an extreme turnaround with such an advanced state of the condition. Thank you so much for the encouragement-As long as I'm...

Down another 2 pounds/1kg today. Dear lord, the weight is melting off at this point. I'm feeling a lot better after getting over the initial adjustment hump (I'd say 7-8 days of fatigue, general moodiness). Seeing the stomach size going down has been encouraging to say the least. Also, recorded...

Daily update. Another pound down/.5kg as of this morning and some blood sugar numbers I haven't seen in 5 years! Getting under 90 was kind of euphoric. Never saw those numbers in my strictest days. The amount of water content in this diet pretty much guarantees you'll be needing a lot of...

Thank you so much guys! It's encouraging to have a little support while undertaking such a difficult regimen. If anyone else is undertaking this let me know and I'll offer whatever support I can! Today I weighed in and I dropped another 2 pounds/1kg overnight. Here's a few details on how I've...
