Hey guys! Getting my results tomorrow. I just wanted to offer an update on post Newcastle diet: The main thing I'm going to stress is to transition off this diet slowly, haha. I went to low carb too fast and my body was actually converting protein into glucose...Which was completely out of wack...

Hello again! So the Newcastle Diet phase is done! Woke up to a nice surprise. A slice of frittata, a nice coffee and a congrats for making it through the process. Sure enough the final results are in, close to 30lbs down- Average fasting of 4.8 and I've pretty much eliminated 90% of my...

Happy Saturday everyone. Just updated the last few days of charts. Numbers are maintaining, and I've actually gone to the movies twice lately (Some great movies out!). Had a medium bag of popcorn as a treat twice with monitoring, blood sugar went down on it's own. The main thing I'm trying to...

Hey Deb! Asked my wife about this, the only theory she could come up with was a potential conversion error? Seeing that the measurements are done to US metrics, is it possible some of the quantities got lost in translation? Either way still looks great, look forward to eating one of these...

Update 2/23: So I've been missing for a few days. Had a small family emergency so I was out of town for a few days. In preparation for this I actually took a cooler filled with my shakes as I didn't know how long I would be gone. This was a great test considering the amount of restaurants we...

Fiona! Welcome to this journey. Great results so far and please keep sharing your log. It will encourage others to attempt this. Work through the first few days and you'll see how the positives outweigh the negatives rapidly (Energy/cold, etc. haha). Sending good thoughts your way in the...

Congratulations friend! I'm really hoping the overall results sustain in the long term and this sugar issue will be a thing of the past. Sending good thoughts your way for the upcoming A1C testing. :) Enjoy the (relatively) normal food again!

Hi everyone! It's been a few days, been taking it easy. I accidentally passed out for a minute a few days back which alarmed my wife, simply due to forgetting to eat in the middle of the day and going too long without calorie intake. We were out running errands and by 6pm I was only at 400...

Congrats Muzza! Hope you enjoyed that sandwich friend. :) Just a few more days of Optifast.

Thank you all for the encouragement. Had a pretty hairy weekend as I did a test yesterday to check my progress. Pretty much a make or break test. Before I started my diet I told myself I would do a 6 week self administered carb test to check how my sugars would react. I chose to do so with a...

Hello again! Progress continues as usual. I'm starting to notice that the weight loss might have reached a plateau at this point. I'm so thin nothing fits anymore. Dare I say it I even noticed my underpants were too big. I still have some stomach fat but it must be some of the most stubborn...

I've been using Atkin's shakes insted of Slimfast or Optifast. Low carb and low sugar. Just depends on if you can find them at your store (Not sure where you're based out of). They're pretty filling and don't seem to induce the hunger that comes out of a high sugar content shake. Also might...

Yeah Keto is most likely as my transition diet. It's low carb, not no carb. 20g carb intake a day with a caloric limit on full fats and protein dependent on calculating my Macros once I'm done with NC. It's been recommended more often than ever for diabetics as of late. I'd like to use the diet...

Hi Ladybird, I can only explain it from my own perspective. I've had the condition for a few years now and treated it loosely to say the least. I worked out sometimes, ate relatively liberally and really didn't pay much attention to the condition or test regularly. I felt fine, but in time my...

I feel you man. I just went through the same problem for an entire week along with sickness. The constipation was a huge problem for the last week and I saw my sugar go higher than I've seen in a while as a result (Got a 5.2 a few days back). Glad you got through it. Lots of straight coffee. I...

Hello again! Been quiet a few days, I know. Happened to catch one hell of a cold as the Texas weather is completely insane as of late- Hot/cold/hot/cold. The only way I've strayed is a few sugar free cough drops. Positive side is, I've recovered a lot faster than in the past when my sugars were...

Amazing results Muzza! Finish line is in reach to the next stage. : ) Stay focused. Did you check out keto dieting as a possible next stage? Keep hammering away at it. Cheers.

Hello! Happy Friday to everyone. The diet continues on track. Numbers are still in the low fours, although my weight loss has slowed down this week compared to previous weeks. I was able to get a full nights sleep last night for the first time in a week, and wouldn't be surprised if the lack of...

Hello again. Middle of the week! So I'm noticing my eating patterns are shifting away from cooked food the last few days. I've just been making massive salads with as many varied raw ingredients as I can, and it's been keeping me good and full! I think I've realized some of the cooked food has...

Welcome to the good fight! Amazing weight loss so far. :) Keep at it friend. I started at around 250lbs a few years back. I'm sure your updates will encourage others as well.
