Well today is my last day and I'm SO glad I went on this detox diet. I no longer take meds, I have far more energy, my weight has dropped by over 2 and a half stone and my BG has levelled out at between 4 and 5. I will be keeping this low carb eating regime going, along with daily Asda shakes...

Today is the last day of my 8 week detox diet - The Newcastle Diet. My BG has stabilised at around 4 now whereas before I struggled to get below 7 despite taking 2 x 500mg of Metformin daily. Now thanks to the detox diet I stopped taking Metformin weeks ago. I do take several vitamins and...

As I enter my final week of this diet I feel FANTASTIC. My waistline has dropped from 42 to 36 inches and my weight is approx 15 and a half stone. I can't honestly remember ever being this "slim" in years. Like others before me I too intend to stick to this eating routine and just gradually...

A lot of sense in what you say young man :wink: My thoughts are along similar lines. First and foremost, this forum has been an invaluable wealth of knowledge for which I am eternally grateful. The Newcastle Diet has been brilliant, BUT, you must stick to a low carb diet thereafter...

Good answer and thanks for replying so promptly

Forgive me if this question has been answered already. Is there any harm in continuing the ND eating regime beyond the 8 weeks? What was the significance of an 8 duration for the clinical trial?

Well Patch, I have to agree with the previous poster - I like the Asda shakes too. They are tasty and easy to make and it's an added bonus they are made with water and not milk as I now keep a shaker, tub of Asda shake and a bottle of mineral water in the boot of my car; so I can have a shake...

I'll just avoid Atkins compliant food groups that are full of fat - such as Peperami's that I used to eat loads of. They are Atkins complient and full of fat. I think the Americans refer to it as "beef jerky" My body will still get sufficient fat from other foodstuffs as there is an element...

As an appetite suppressant I previously found the acai berry tablets very good. I'm thinking about going back onto them again at the end of my 8 weeks, as I already have some I bought previously but never used. I've also previously been on the Atkins Diet and loved it and found it easy to...

Hi Guys, Yesterday was the start of week 5 for me, so my weekly update with weight and BG. Starting weight day 1 was 17st 10lbs - now 16 st 1lb Starting BG Mornings was 7 now 4 Evenings was 7.2 now 4.3 Not much weight loss last week; I think my body is getting "wise" to this diet. In...

I'm a convert. It works I'm sticking to it I'll be doing 4 or 5 weeks of it every year to make sure my weight and BG stays within sensible limits

Hi Guys, I'm right at the halfway point of my 8 weeks. I got bored of weighing myself and taking morning and evening BG's after a couple of weeks; so now I only do so once a week - which is today. :D When I started, back on 17/01/12 my vital statistics were: Weight = 17st 10 lbs Morning BG...

I actually LIKE the taste of these Asda shakes :shock: My only criticism is that they don't have many different flavours - only Strawberry, Latte or Chocolare. I intend using them after the 8 weeks and simply reverting to 3 shakes plus one regular meal per day. To stop it getting boring...

Thanks guys. I had been weighing myself last thing at night at had been 17st exactly for the last 5 nights. I weighed myself this morning and found myself to be 16 11 and a half. I shall be weighing myself in the MORNINGS from now on.... :lol:

I'm a bit disappointed in my weight loss rate. It's been 15 days now and my weight has stayed the same now for the last 5 days. I have stuck to the rules, never cheated and my BG is always around 5 now. The only thing spoiling my results is the pounds not coming off :cry:

I like your logic. I was actually thinking about doing the Newcastle Diet regularly - say every January; just for 4 or 5 weeks every year to dettox the system and keep the weight gain in check. And to give my liver a rest from alcohol too. :wink:

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 4.6 yesterday and 4.7 today :D I may well have to stay on 3 Asda slimming shakes plus one regular meal for the rest of my life :shock:

Is that Acai Berry's little sister? :wink:

Just been reading this old thread of mine. I still take Benfotamaine and swear by them; although I do still get the odd sharp pain in my hands and a mild fizzing sensation in my left hand and arm fairly frequently - usually shortly after I've eaten a meal. I stopped taking the Metformin...

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn My FBG has been 5.2 for the last few mornings; which I'm delighted with. :D
