[QUOTE="Red59, post: 1633796, member: 437281"] Hi, I have recently finished the Newcastle diet. Have lost 42 pounds and went off 4 of my diabetic meds, my blood pressure meds and statin. Of course with my doctor's advice and I am being closely monitored. Just went for a bunch of blood work this am. Also my doctor ordered a 24hr blood pressure test just to make sure I was ok to come off my bp meds. I felt "not like myself" the very first week of the ND which I later learned was completely normal. Symptoms such as flu-like feeling, foggy brain, weakness. After that first week things drastically improved and I had more energy than ever (cleaned all the corners of my house) . My follow-up with my family doctor was great-no prescriptions needed. I did add a multivite and I take Omega, Vit D supplement. After finishing the ND I celebrated with a steak supper, wedge salad with blue cheese dressing, roasted veggies. Unfortunately I couldn't/didn't eat the entire meal but the meat tasted good after not having it for 8 weeks. Since finishing the ND I have gone Ketogenic with Intermittent fasting. I am a big fan of Dr Jason Fung and have his Guide to Fasting Book, also the keto recipes on dietdoctor.com are simple and delicious. So far, so good. One caution if you are on medication for high blood pressure the ND directly affected my blood pressure. I monitor my bp at home but I also had symptoms of low blood pressure so with my doctor's ok first cut my meds in half and then took them every other day and then went off entirely. Hope this helps and good luck, I am very happy I choose to do the ND, it was the kick-start I needed. [/QUOTE]
