    I've heard of this. Honey is pretty **** natural - I wouldn't be urprised if there wee health benefits. I need to get some raw, natural honey and some suitable cinnamon. Maple Syrup is also natural - I wonder if that can be used???

    CHEESE/ EGG QUESTION

    You have to consider the "Cummulative Carb Effect" (copyright Patch 2011 :wink: ) When you are on a low carb diet - cheese n' eggs WON'T effect your BG. HOWVER - if you are eating carbs, and then eat cheese n' eggs, the fat in the cheese WILL have an effect on your BG. Carbs hang around in...

    Can't Cope With Other People

    Cheese n' eggs while lo-carbing are a GOD SEND! Eat as much as you like of each. The variety of cheeses is awesome - and there are very few that you should avoid (just check the label!)

    insane workout

    Which insane workout? Do you mean the interval type work out, where you go hell for leather for 30 seconds, then rest, then go at it again for 30 seconds? It doesn't seem insane to me. Sounds like a very efficient way of exercising.

    Post Newcastle Diet results

    Great news! I've got a bit of a theory on the cumulative effect of carbs. If I was in your position, I'd be doing the Newcastle diet again (maybe only for 2 or 3 weeks) to re-set your body prior to cutting out pizza & bread...
