Ringi thanks for that, will look at salt intake in future. Trying to keep salt down as not good for bp Well done Peerless, your fasting bg's are fantastic, you must be chuffed the way things are going. I think 3lbs is about right as you will have lost the fluids in first week. You may get more...

Butterfly, thanks for the encouragement. The ND is 800 calories a day. I lost 16lbs in first two weeks and have reduced my BG to 6.1 and no longer take any of my many meds for T2, bp, acid reflux and cholesterol. Chalup, thanks for the reply and it does make sense what you say. I wondered...

weight 13st 13.5lbs from 15st 2lbs BG 6.1 BP normal That was Sunday morning. This morning my weight went up 2lbs dunno why I stuck to the ND completely Any words of wisdom to encourage a thoroughly cheesed off dieter that is craving Lidl's low GI bread as if I am addicted to it. Not craving a...

I am doing the Newcastle diet. When 8 weeks is up I intend to eat healthier than I was doing by cutting out the crisps, chocolates and rubbish foods. I am going to eat low carb to maintain and control bloods. Good luck and listen to what ring I tells you if you are on insulin. Peerless is also...

That's all great Peerless. I too was in a similar position with blood readings and medications pretty much the same as you. Dr wanted me to start injecting insulin. I am approx a week behind you, now no meds and BG was 6.1 this morning. Thing I don't understand is I put 2lbs on this morning but...

I am using "Astral nutrition" shakes which contain everything you need. They are only approx 100 calories a shake so that means you can have an extra 300 calories to add to the 200 giving you 500 more

hi Today marks the completion of week 2 on the Newcastle diet. I started at 15st 2lbs with a fasting bs of 15.9, taking the max tablets one could take, plus Losartan for blood pressure and Atorvistatin for cholesterol. I was also taking Omezaprole for acid reflux due to the effects of the...

hi Can Quorn be eaten when doing the Newcastle 600 diet?

Thanks fleegle and freema It's great to receive encouragement. I have set a target of 12st 8lbs which is lower than my ideal weight but not much lower. I realise when I complete this 8 week diet and then eat a low carb normal healthy diet, I will put some weight back on due to fluids and so I...
