[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2480356, member: 493719"] Ah, sorry. ND is a UK initiative. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diet/newcastle-study-600-calorie-diet.html[/URL] 3 months of hard dieting consuming only 800/600 calories a day. Many on it get good return in weight & BG levels. Though i did see stats that by year 2/3 many failed to keep up progress. Personally I think it is that step over to maintaining a reasonable diet, beyond the hard 800 Cal's.... Which is where I consider myself lucky to have made that step over day one, with LCHF. From what you describe, I guess you weren't far off that? I found the old "eat to your meter" adage to be the best advice. I liken it to a detective game. Eat the food Test it's affects on your BG levels at 2 hours. If higher then 2mmol adjust portion size or remove any suspect items. Admittedly food list gets shortened at first, but quickly gets filled up again once you go off the usual SAD (Standard American diet) and try lower carb alternatives to rice, pasta, potatoes. I found this the best early days guide to swaps, if you haven't already found it yourself [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/visual-guides[/URL] Best of luck finding a suitable way for You .
