[QUOTE="seadragon, post: 1129902, member: 195124"] Well you've taken the first step by posting here, so welcome to the forum. If you haven't seen [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] s info for newbies she'll post it here shortly so have a good read of that. I would say it doesn't sound like the Newcastle diet is suitable for you at the moment. It does involve deprivation and feeling hungry as it severely cuts calories. The much simpler route to better health is low carb /high fat. A great site it dietdoctor.com and they have a two week low carb challenge which would give you a start and a goal if you think that might help. Otherwise you can start by looking at substituting some of your carby meals and snacks for less carby ones. So can you try nuts in place of whatever you are snacking on now - or cheese maybe. And perhaps you could start the day with a good old fashioned cooked breakfast with bacon and eggs. By upping the good fats in the diet it fills you up more and keeps you satisfied so you don't have so many cravings or need snacks. To really help though, people would need a clearer idea of what sort of foods you like and what you eat now and then maybe people can suggest more substitutions. [/QUOTE]
