Advice on Newcastle Diet for smaller women

Probably explains why by bgls didn't go up then . I love avocados so I'm not stopping eating them . I normally take a photo of the barcode for MFP but sometimes I throw away the wrapper which does put me in the hands of some of the dodgy stuff

Maybe US avocados are twice the size of ours

Ok. I need to chime in here about my beloved avocado as well. I am a broken record on this forum about the magic of avocados. They are the most blood sugar stabilizing food that there is. I eat it for breakfast every morning and some with every meal to stay steady. It slows any spike and for me injecting insulin stops the initial drop then spike thing. Just steady stready steady. I eat at leasr on a day but often 1.5. Makes meals simple to. I smash it all in the morning and at lunch and dinner I eat it with celery and radish I add some protein with a saucy thing and occasionally a small handful of other veg but I'm usually too full for that

Here in the US they come in many sizes but I get a bag of 6 and they average 5-6 oz of meat after the pit and skin are removed.

Looks like you should be avocado Naomi,

Excellent. Sounds like they are great for your BS too. Win win :)
Don't you find them very satisfying too? I'm not hungry for hours.
Happy to see your good progress.
 
Yes I think they are fine for me just a bit high cal being on this diet and I can eat loads at once

According to my calculations 6 oz of pure avocado meat is 272 cals and add a little celery or a spoon and that could make a large meal. I have mixed bits of turkey or chicken in it with a pinch of onion and that's a meal. If I ate a whole one for breakfast I don't think I'd need lunch. Lol.
 
Thanks for this...I eat probably 1 per week, but didn't realise they were such a Blood Sugar stabiliser:)

I think you'll be amazed Kevin. It's the only thing that doesn't make my bs go up at breakfast. All that good fat and fiber keeps everything steady. And I mean everything if you read between the lines haha
 
Reading before meal 4.9 lowest ever. And I've lost 1 stone/14lbs /5.9 kg since I started this. Definitely worth carrying on with it despite the few downs. The lower Cals definitely has worked

Woohoo hba1c down from 71 to 54. And most of that 3 months I was just on Lchf so it's bound to be even better if they measured me again in 3 months time . Think I have enough ammunition now to not go on metformin. Also bp down from 138/92 to 117/82 so I'm hoping no bp tablets too.

Great reduction. Well done but you need to keep going for further improvements next time.
 
I will and I am. Guess positive results make it all worth while. Still got 2.5 weeks of ND to go. Don't think I'll be in 'remission' by the end but I think I'm just going to carry on with it during weekdays at 600 Cals and then just Lchf at weekends as apart from constipation I feel fine. Then Atkins in Brazil then I'll see where my weight and bgls are at and decide if I want to do another total 600 cal ND for a month

So in 2.5 weeks this thread will end you'll all be happy to read
