    How i got my own levels back into single figures.

    Hi Brett, that Newcastle Diet worked wonders for my weight fella, could not fault it, but alas, i needed more bulk in the end as it got boring to this greedy fella, so as soon as i tried to tweak it, it went down the drain and i must admit i became very depressed because i was doing so well, and...

    How i got my own levels back into single figures.

    Yes Diet can help greatly.

I got my Levels down from...

    Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

    I must admit to not being very clear, Let me try harder lol, i know my initial comment was to do with Quorn, and it is important to know what the Natural flavourins are made up of, and they will include salt and sugar as preservatives, if not so would it not say so on the packet. I would stay...

    Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

    I would be concerned with the "Natural flavourings" in this product, many preservatives, maybe up to 100 even, two of which is what i mentioned, salt and sugar, both of which are natural flavourings, quorn is a highly processed unnatural food, and there are thousands that have an intolerance to...
