    5:2 or other fasting. anyone fasting today?

    This fast information is all good to know, especially that intermittant fasting and fasts like 16:8 helps keep the weight off after ND. 16:8 means that you eat in the 8 hour window and then nothing for next 16 hours? I believe that fasts and eating minimally keep us healthiest.

    I'm American so I had to convert from kg to lbs, but WOW! You lost 22 pounds in not even 3 weeks? AWESOME!!! I never heard of this diet until a few weeks ago when I read about it in Daily Mail which is a British publication anyway and the diet started in Britain. I feel that this info is being...

    Yoo Hoo! I'm starting Newcastle tomorrow CAN'T WAIT!

    Hi And Breathe, did I answer your metformin questions? I don't really check my blood anymore unless I feel like I have symptoms, so basically that's why I want to do this diet. When I'm normal weight I don't have diabetes. I just have to get to my normal weight range and STAY THERE LOL

    optimax alternative !

    Hi Sunny, I don't know what country you're in but you should just go to the local supermarket and find a "low cal" protein shake, however I think they are milk/whey based. I found one at Kmart which is 60 cal a serving, it's "lite", and the brand is "Designer Protein"

    Yoo Hoo! I'm starting Newcastle tomorrow CAN'T WAIT!

    Hi Sunny, no, I'm gonna use real food and maybe some of the powdered protein shake mix I already have. I think the point is to eat only 600 cal a day, no matter how you get there. I did find the diet so I'm going to read it, and what I've read so far says that they (the doctors) used liquid...

    Yoo Hoo! I'm starting Newcastle tomorrow CAN'T WAIT!

    Hi again. I was just reading that the Newcastle 8 week diet is primarily shakes, but I'm not gonna do that. I have a lot of high quality foods here at home so I'll use those instead. I do have some protein shake powder which I can use, but I'll use it with other real food. I think the goal is...
