[QUOTE="Cricket Lover, post: 412943, member: 76618"] I have been on the Newcastle diet for just over 6 weeks using Otifast, I have so far lost 25 lbs & feel better than I have felt for several years, I also eat 250gms of vegetables a day, apart from feeling a bit achy & some headaches over the first few days I have felt fine, energy levels excellent can cope with a hard 1hr workout in the gym mix of cardio & weights & now doing mile long swims a couple of times a week. I think there is a lot of scare mongering about medical supervision, my GP was happy for me to manage it myself, just proviso if you feel unwell see your doctor. I would probably be a little more concerned if it was longer than 8 weeks, but I see nothing wrong with meal replacement shakes provided you are eating vegetables for some solids & ruffage. Neither my consultant or doctor had any concerns about the diet, as they felt I would be getting all the essential nutrients & vitamins from the meal replacements & vegetables, my gp was going to prescribe vitamins initially but having looked at the content of the shakes felt it was not required. I do feel that the concerns people raise about these diets do vear towards scare mongering at times! [/QUOTE]
