Hi, watched this video, very interesting, thanks for info. Regards

Hi all, I too chose shakes to carry out the nd and agree with the above post that shakes will not suit everyone when trying out the nd, my take on it is that it makes it easier to check the required calories and is convenient if not eat/drinking at home, after my first week the hunger did...

Hi Chook, agree that it is pretty boring having a liquid breakfast and lunch but it does help me with the calorie count, I always look forward to my evening meal because I've learnt that it does not have to be boiled veg every night. Thanks for backing up my extra veg due to using water to mix...

Hi to all, end of week 3 yesterday and must say not a bad week, and my body adapting to the 800 cal diet, some spikes after the shakes but think that's to do with the sugar in the shake, no difference between flavor's (chocolate, strawberry, raspberry or the vanilla) it did say something about...

Hi Grateful, thanks for your reply. Regards.

Hi Chook, I will be going to lidl tomorrow and see if I can get some of these rolls, if I do I will freeze them for Christmas and have a bacon roll with plenty of butter, yummy treat, have looked online and the numbers look good, low carb as well yah. I was out yesterday and went into...

Hi Grateful, I'm no expert, lots of people on here know a lot more than me. Anyway I came across a book called the 8 week blood sugar diet by Dr Michael Mosley, from which I learnt more about my T2 than when I saw my doctor or diabetic nurse, all they wanted to do was more meds more meds you get...

Hi Chook, I was reading the threads on this site and someone mentioned going to the Indian supermarket for the psyllium husk, I did check out eBay of course but found it much cheaper from the Indian supermarket, also some of the recipes on diet doctor called for it in certain recipes as part of...

Hi midnightrider, thanks for the reply and will try the porridge/almond milk when off the nd. Fbg 5.1today before shake!

Hello Chook, to answer your question, I'm coming to the end of week 3 and this week has been a lot better than previous 2 in that I'm less hungry as my body adjusts to the 800 cal intake, I also find a stick of celery in the morning with the shake helps at breakfast time to set me up well to...

OK so end of week 2, update for the week, Monday was fine but Tuesday not so good, bit light headed and felt sick, increased my fluid intake and the symptoms seemed to go away before bedtime :wideyed:. Wednesday to Sunday everything ok, plenty of fluid seemed to do the trick. Hope to make it to...

Hi. I'm hoping to complete the nd over the required 8 weeks:(, anyway bit of background, I'm 66 yr old T2 male, last 6 month check was not very good. My dn suggested more pills, (im on 4x 500mg metformin) bit of a blow !! I said to my nurse I would sort it out and declined the extra pills. What...

I agree with bluetit1802 that if you have a good doctor you are on to a winner. I did not know you could have your results of test printed out or put online, thanks for info. Good luck with your next visit.

Thanks for your welcome nomoredonuts.
