[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1915710, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]Hi [USER=493185]@DreadCaptRoberts[/USER]. Your DN suggested you bump up your cal-count to 1,500? Did she say why? The last time I did the ND with food, I was overseen by a very supportive DN, who offered medical-clinic based NDs as a standard part of diabetes treatment, to groups of patients. She suggested I raise my cal-count too, at the halfway mark, but she absolutely gave me a couple of good reasons - one being - living in sub-arctic conditions, and it was winter. It takes a certain amount of energy to just keep your body warm, and the second reason - I can be an outdoorsy kind of gal, and liked my walks and weight lifting in outdoor gyms and so on. (Outdoor gyms, as in free of course and just part of the parks, are a wonderful thing about Sweden.) But she only suggested a 200 cal increase to 1,000 for all that snow and ice, in order for me to still have my walks and weight lifting and so on. And I was normal weighted by that stage, lower carbing (if big waisted) to begin with. (Sadly, I believe my 'personal fat threshold' is a rather low one! I wish this was not the case.) She regularly supervised NDs, so I trusted her judgement. To increase your calorie load so much - I would want a reason, and a good one! For the ND to work, as far as I know, there does need to be a significant energy-from-food reduction. Did you give her the Newcastle Diet information for medical professionals you can get online? If not, I would strongly advise you to. (as in email links.) And ask her again about the 1,500 cals. (Just a recap for readers: Basically the science behind it is communicated very clearly by Professor Taylor on behalf of his team, and boils down to the diabetes-reverse cycle idea, and significant calorie deficit is supposed to, or ideally, turns the wheels of a the blood glucose regulation cycle the right way, by depleting liver fat and then ultimately - the pancreatic fat.)
