[QUOTE="Peerless67, post: 1528964, member: 425152"] What is the major factor in the Newcastle diet ? The 800 calorie part of the diet was carried out over 8 weeks, but Taylor says substantial weight loss is key and quotes 15% He also mentioned that the time frame was not as important as the weight loss, and I hate to say this but I am sure he was saying it was OK if it took longer ( for those who were unable to do 800 calories) I am doing something akin to the NC diet but I am not considered obese, when I checked my BMI at 84 KG and 6' 3" and 50 years old I fall smack bang in the middle of the green area. Now I already know that BMI is not the be all and end all but losing 15% of my weight will take me down to approx 72KG, that will take me very close to the lower line of the green area on the BMI chart. That is not a problem I am doing well on the diet and I am confident I will pass the 15% but I believe I will hit the 72 KG in the next 2-3 weeks. That will still leave me with 4-5 weeks of the diet to complete. How much weight loss would be too much ? I know if this works it will be about losing visceral fat from my liver and pancreas but I have no way of measuring that. I don't mind being slim and can see I need to lose some flab from my belly but I don't want to pass from slim to thin. How do I determine my fat threshold. What are your thoughts ? [/QUOTE]
