END OF WEEK 8 & END OF NEWCASTLE DIET

The weight back on is the killer.
Get back on the Newcastle, drop those two stone back off again, and you'll be back down.

Don't get hung up on fat.
Eat healthy, keep the weight off, job's a good 'un.
 
Cheers
 
Mate, two stone back on, more than just watching carbs here.
Unless that is a junk food pure carb diet, I'd say needs a bit more then blaming just carbs.
Jc man - I started on the “Low carb program” which meant I was targeting 100 carbs a day
But quickly realised this wasn’t working so dropped to 50 a day, still not working, asked a few questions about fat intake levels etc.
Decided to go Keto at 20g per day but weight still went on.
No junk food
 
Hi
I thought the 75% referred to when coming back to eating after being on ND, I.e. that you started at 75% of your intended intake and gradually increase over a few weeks?
I was running every other day after ND and that was for half an hour minimum per day.
Don’t understand the “set” point bit.

So I went LCHF after the ND.
I aimed at low carb and didn’t look at calories or fat intake. I didn’t look at “of which sugars” just counted the carbs.
I feel I should be counting carbs as I have been, but restricting my calorie and fat intake to a certain level too but not sure what the fat level ceiling should be. Certainly no more than 2500 calories per day plus exercise (I use Fitbit app to log my exercise and calorie burn).
 
So for example if you were eating 2000 calories prior to ND, this was the original set point. My understanding is that your new calorie intake post ND would be 1500 calories, as the set point. I am caveating this as, this is from memory, if correct this would need to be understood up front by participants.

Prof Taylor does make of clear that unlike other low calorie diets, his works by having an intervention of dietary guidance at the right time, so there is no bounce back. I know I have flip flopped as to whether I would have undertaken this protocol, certainly if I did it would be with real food I.e. the Blood Sugar Diet.
