Message: <blockquote data-quote="AndBreathe" data-source="post: 1030324" data-attributes="member: 88961">The Newcastle Diet (ND) is a very strict regime, and Professor Taylor himself openly states it isn't for everyone.  For some the protocols would be very difficult to implement, with decent compliance, within their overall lives; whether due to family, work or social pressures.I didn't follow the ND.  I didn't learn of it until I had made some progress by notionally gentler methods.  When I ask myself if I would have adopted the approach, I can't come up with a definitive decision - swaying from yes/no and back again, for a million reasons.  However, I might have been inspired to utilise it as a kick-start or means of breaking other eating patterns, as I certainly found the new-found pressure of thinking about every single eating episode wearing.  On diagnosis we go from a certain amount of routine and auto-pilot to "what the heck do I eat now?" mode, and clearly our spouses or partners are dragged along that route with us.But, one of the things Professor Taylor says in his writing is that it is important to have planned and organised a "next steps" plan for yourself, once you have reached the end of your purist ND phase.  He is clear that for those who revert to wholly pre-ND eating patterns, there is likely to be a loss of benefits.As well as Pipp and Andrew, there are others.  I don't know if you found this thread?:  <a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/newcastle-diet-survivors-where-are-they-now.56235/" target="_blank">http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/newcastle-diet-survivors-where-are-they-now.56235/</a>As you are doubtless aware, the ND doesn't work for everyone, but it's certainly worth a good go, if you can hack it.</blockquote>
