You may not need to try the Newcastle diet, seeing how well you have done with carbohydrate restriction.  It was Roy Taylor's work at Newcastle that first alerted me to the possibility of reversing type two diabetes, but I didn't like the idea of his very low calorie diet.  I am very much a real food fan so I cautiously tried low carb and intermittent fasting which worked for me.  I had already got down from 140 kg to 103 kg over the years on low-fat, calorie-restriction but never kept the weight off permanently.  This time I aimed for a modest reduction to 90Kg which I reached quickly and kept going to my present 70Kg.  I don't panic if it goes up or down by a couple of Kg.  A long holiday, with temporary carb-laden treats can add up to 10Kg but I can lose that quickly when back home.</p></blockquote><p></p>
