I thought i would post an update as i dont visit the forum very often. You can see my stats in my Sig, My last post was on a home OGTT i performed when i weighed 86.5kg. I now weigh 82.5kg. I thought i would post my latest results to show how a small amount of weight can make a difference and...

Thats a great link. Very interesting and aligns with what i was thinking. The 12 in the OGTT is showing that first phase response is impaired. When i was first diagnosed i did some baseline tests with specific food and have seen large improvements in the first phase response when testing them...

Hi, Its the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test http://www.diabetes.co.uk/oral-glucose-tolerance-test.html Its designed to test how your body deals with a defined glucose load. Its not used all that much for diagnosing diabetes anymore (apart from for pregnant women). Im using it for a few reasons...

Hi All, after being quite successful with the ND and then low carbing i decided to do a home OGTT. The results turned out promising, Fasting was 4.2 and at the 2hr point 6.8 Im still low carbing and did not do the 3 days of 150g of carbs beforehand so i know the results will be slightly...

I eat there quite often. I find ether a steak and salad or i go for a naked burger. Thats a burger with no bun and salad or veg instead of the fries. I eat out quite a lot even though im on a diet and i have yet to find any restaurant that is unwilling to change the set meals. For example at...

Im not an expert and i assume everyone is diffrent but i would say listen to your body. I doubt excise is going to be a bad thing as long as its simplely walking ect. I do know that the LCHF diet is basiclybthe same as a body building diet. So due to the high protein levels you can build mucle...

Honestly for me not at all when it comes to the weight loss. I did not do any extra exercise while loosing weight. For the energy deficits you need to loose weight you would be running all day. I have in the last 2 weeks taken up Squash but this is not about loosing weight but generally to...

My Plan was to go from VLCD to LCHF. My logic was that since both diets use Ketosis it should be easer to switch. I found that i had about 2 weeks of no weight loss after the transition but then i started to loose again. Take a look at my graph and you can see where i switched. I'm not doing...

Fear was a driver for me and the feeling of taking control. After that i found because of how extrem the diet was it reset my perception of what being hungry and portion size really meant. In my head i now always think, i survived on 800cal a day for 2 months. When my body tells me its hungry...

I used the Tesco Ultra Slim shakes. they were 30 shakes for £10. Originally i was concerned about the carbs in them but after some reading on the forum and from Prof Taylor's lecture for the Newcastle Diet its seemed to me that if your on 800-900 cal a day. The carb count really wasent that...

Just in case anyone else might stumble upon this I did find an interesting study aiming to record glycemic response in none diabetic folk. The study is here and if its taught me anything its that "normal" dosent really exist. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2769652/ The...

Good point. Ill remember that.

Thanks for the encouragement and response. As you can imagine its quite confusing to work out what's best so heading for "normal" seems the best option. I was reading this study (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2892065/) It seems to indicate that most "normal" people go above 7.8...

Hi All, im looking for some advice. Im a type 2. I followed the ND for 2 months but was a little disappointed with my glycemic control at the end. While i had much improved fasting levels. They had normalised in the low 5's but my post meal levels when testing high carb foods were still very...

Nice app BTW :). I'm a coder myself so i do love it when there is already a decent app around. I'm now more happy with those numbers after reading the old threads. I think i'm just on the threshold as some of the small experiments i have done (egg on toast) have shown rises (which i'm not...

Not sure if this helps. I had a much slower decrease in my fasting levels than i expected based on watching the lecture. But i think the important thing is to see the trend not the individual results. Ignore the large drop just after the middle of the graph. This i believe is due to some bad...

Hi, Thanks for the response. Ask as many questions as you like. With regard to the diet i was looking at stopping the shake aspect of it. Originally i set a target of 8ish weeks to lose 15% of my body weight based upon the original study. I know that Prof Taylor states that its not so much...

I’m looking for a bit of advice from anyone who has done the ND. I’m coming to the end of my first attempt at this. As of today I have lost 15.1% of my body weight since starting. When I first started the diet I was on Metformin. By fasting levels were coming in at about 4.2-4.4. I then came...
