[QUOTE="Antoine Fernando, post: 487330, member: 91456"] I downloaded a guide from the Diabetes Team at St Johns Hospital. It says that you can do the Newcastle Diet if you are metformin but not if you are injecting insulin. I am not on metformin, just bp control tabs ramipril & bisoprol. The diet recommends 3 shakes per day 200ml of veg soup ( non starch only - no spuds, fruit, beans). I have adjusted mine because I've become Souperman - my cabbage & tomato soup with lots of cayenne, paprika etc. the base of any good soup is comprised chopped onion, chopped celery & chopped carrots sweated slowly at first in 1 cal, then 2 tins of copped tomatoes a litre of water + 3 or 4 stocks. It's so nice I miss a shake and have extra soup instead. You can also add some fresh bean sprouts at the last minute. My wife who is not on the diet pours the soup over some spuds and sprinkles some crispy bacon lardons. That way we can eat almost the same meal. On the weekends I cut down to 1 slimfast shake and have a salad as well. I'm on week 6 and have lost 23lbs. I feel good, maybe a bit tired. But one warning your insides really play up after the first week, that lasts a few days - but it's settled down now. My doctor was all for it, but the diabetes nurse at our practice pooh poohs the diet.
