Another one for a salad constituent, it's also chopped up in a recipe I use for home-made beefburgers (along with feta cheese, tomato, onion, garlic, salt & pepper).

Well, 1 week off the ND and into LCHF, along with entertaining & feeding visitors and trying to sort out portion sizes, etc. for my own needs my weight has gone up, down and then settled at 3/4lb higher than the end of ND so, all-in-all, not too bad for the first week of transition. Some meals...

In my mind even more reason to have a go at the Newcastle Diet as a first option rather than undergoing surgery. The surgeon's belief that your diabetes medication needs could be reversed are promising - if you have the willpower to follow the regime. Surgery could always be a fall-back option.

B: coffee & cream; Brunch: bacon, sausage & mushroom omelette, coffee & cream; S: Pork scratchings; D: home-made burger, small handful of chips, salad with mayo, strawberries and cream

Before undergoing something as drastic as surgery might I suggest you look at the research carried out at Newcastle University in 2011 under Professor Taylor? The subsequent data collated after others have changed their lifestyle & dietary habits evidences that some can benefit without gastric...

I have just completed 8 weeks on the ND regime using Exante products...don't worry about the carb content. The BG levels settle down remarkably within a few days, literally. In fact, Prof Taylor makes reference to that fact in his summary document, "Although Optifast was used in the study, this...

B: Greek yoghurt with strawberries, coffee with cream; L: 1/2 Lidl low carb hi protein roll with creamy omelette filled with asparagus, philadelphia & smoked salmon, coffee & cream; D: Salmon fillet, Boursin filled portobella mushroom, leeks, carrots & runner beans all coated with a cheese...

;) Just using up fridge contents after guests at the weekend - overstocked. Now meals are prepared with so many fresh ingredients I've got to get a handle on quantities to buy, etc.

I've done just that to monitor my BG response. My wife & I shared one roll with half a 4 egg creamy omelette with Philadelphia, smoked salmon & butter fried asparagus tips folded inside each. Very yum.

I had to work away from home yesterday and checked out a Lidl - they were in stock, so I bought 12! Loads in their bakery section, so I haven't deprived any other Blackpoolers! Yet to try one as I only finished ND last Wednesday and this is the first opportunity to access a Lidl store (nearest...

4.6 on rousing and letting the dogs out at 7.15am.

5.2 on waking.

4.8 this morning.

After 8 weeks on the Newcastle-style (VLC) diet I have lost a total of 39lbs from 16st 9lbs to 13st 12lbs and my BG & BP readings have improved massively. My medication is also down from 11 tablets a day to 3. Now I have to a) keep it off and b) lose a little more. As from today I migrate on to...

Finished 8 weeks on the VLCD as of last night. Total weight loss 39lbs. Although I usually hovered around 17st I recorded my starting weight as 16st 9lbs and set a target weight of 14 stones. My weight this morning was 13st 12lbs or 88kg. BMI is still 27.1, so I plan to lose another stone to...

5.0 at bedtime and 4.1 this morning :). I completed 8 weeks on the ND yesterday and from today making the transition to LCHF for some continued weight loss and then maintenance. I will have to monitor all BG readings more closely over the next month to check out the impact of various food items.

I'm hoping my transition from the meal replacements shouldn't be too difficult as I was on approx 19g fat, 55g carbs & 51g protein for a day's 600 cal intake. I plan to take the carbs lower to continue to lose weight.

Last ND day today and transition to LCHF from tomorrow

Such sad news, a stark reminder that this condition can have dire consequences if not managed and an incentive to us all. Not too sure yet how things will progress. I am on my last day of ND and after having very simple food intake choices with the meal replacements for the last 8 weeks, I am...

Last complete day on the ND. 5.0 at bedtime and a prompt test on rising was 4.3
