I was recently (16th August) diagnosed with Diabetes (still not confirmed type 1 or type 2) likely Type 2. I studied Roy Taylors book and white papers back to back for 3 days... I was keen to trial this rapid weight loss program as I was morbidly obese (north of 20 stone) but the Diabetic professionals advised not to do it until my blood sugar was stabilised (which it did after about a week). I was on a daily injection of semglee and metformin top and bottom of the day. Sorry for the background but maybe it will help provide context.Seems like a disastrous diet. Protect lean mass at all costs. Alternating weeks of maintenance/protein sparing modified fasting would be much safer/manageable.
anyone know the macros of the shakes?
I decided day after I read the Roy Taylor program to check the macro nutrients of the shakes they used (exante) and mimic these via the 'my fitness' app into real food... I did this for 1 month but based it on 1100 calories a day instead of 800.... I lost about 24b in 4 weeks. I have now switched over to a TLD as of 3 weeks ago and lost a further 14lb. As a result I am no longer taking my insulin injections anymore (as of yesterday) my BSL are stable at 5.5 (ish) and next aim is to try and lose more weight to see if I can get into remission in the coming 5 weeks.
The program for me has been really good... very hard but the results speak for themselves. However.... I did not use exante... if you happen to be in a NHS trust that is not piloting the scheme then the exante or nestle shakes are a crazy price. I researched this a lot and found that USN diet fuel meal supplement is a fraction of the price and has pretty much the same nutional macros and vitamins. Personally I have 3 USN shakes a day and x1 carbzilla bar to switch it up a bit.... so far so good!
