[QUOTE="TonyHancock, post: 1812254, member: 468382"] I'm going to go against the grain. I thought it was OK. When I was diagnosed, Oct 2027, I opted for the Blood Sugar Diet and 800 calories a day for two months. I could have opted for the shakes but it was actually easier for me to keep a food diary and manage what went into my mouth. (Of those 8 weeks I spent five overseas on business.) I was overweight and eating a carb laden diet of processed food when diagnosed and dropped 15 KG and lowered my blood sugar to "normal" levels in 8 weeks. Since January I have steered clear of carbs and moved to a higher healthy fat diet. I also fast intermittently, have a strong interest in the impact of bacteria in the gut and also the impact of stress. Whilst this show was an awfully long way from being perfect I think it at least offers an alternative to the current medical advice which at best is vague and at worst unhelpful. When I was diagnosed my first reaction was to find a way of avoiding medication and I have been lucky enough to do that so far. I am under no illusion that if I want to remain free of medication I have to be disciplined but also keep researching. (I have little faith in the medical system.) I know this does not work for everyone but I think the Newcastle Diet approach will work for large number where weight is a major factor. I made some bad food decisions in the past, some based on my own gluttony, and others based on dodgy marketing from the food industry. I am now agog at the past and continuing demonisation of saturated fat. After one week on the BSD I had lost over 4KG in weight and. my blood sugar meter readings were in the mid 5's and man alive that gave me a boost to continue. [/QUOTE]
