[QUOTE="andrewk, post: 268992, member: 37453"] I did start the "Newcastle" diet on Saturday 21 April 2012. My plan is to have 3 Tesco shakes per day made with Lacolite (or skimmed cow's milk) and 200g of green veg to improve the fibre in the diet. I also take a Tesco multivitamin and mineral tablet each day too. I'll try to update this thread with my results on a regular basis - at least weekly but probably more often. My weight at the start of the diet (Day 0) was 105.3 kg (16st 7.5 lb) Day 0 BG: Fasting: 7.4, Breakfast+2: 7.8, Lunch+2: 6.2, Dinner+2: 6.2, Bedtime: 5.4 Day 1 BG: Fasting: 6.7, Bedtime: 5.3 Day 2 BG: Fasting: 7.4, Breakfast+2: 7.9, Bedtime: 5.2 Day 3 BG: Fasting: 6.6, Breakfast+2: 7.9, Bedtime: 4.7 Day 4 BG: Fasting: 6.7, Breakfast+2: 7.8, Bedtime: 4.4 Day 5 BG: Fasting: 5.9, Breakfast+2: 9.7, Bedtime: 5.3 Day 6 BG: Fasting: 6.3, Breakfast+2: 8.5 My weight this morning was 101.8kg (16 stones exactly) - so I've lost 7.5lb in the first 6 days, which I am happy with. I must admit, though, that I am a little disapppointed at the lack of progress on the blood glucose reduction. Mind you, I have been doing the low-carb Atkins bit for a while so maybe I should expect a slower start. So far I've been feeling great but haven't been sleeping quite as well as I usually do (might not be related to the diet). The shakes are brilliant and I don't feel anything like as hungry as I expected to do. This could be easier to keep to than I imagined. One thing I have discovered - if you have a penchant for the occasional tipple in the evening (Scotch in my case), take care in interpreting bedtime readings. An hour after a "wee dram" my BG falls to sub 4 - presumably because my liver forgets all about converting glycogen into glucose while it deals with the alcohol assault. I'll do a full check of all the post-meal and bedtime readings once per week on each Saturday. Andrew [/QUOTE]
