I am currently on the Newcastle diet - 6 days in
I take 1/ day metformin + ramipril + statin
Unfortunately where i am just now working offshore i am at the mercy of what is on offer at any given time regards food etc.
My current programme for now is:
Breakfast - I have a shake.
Lunch - There is little veg or salad options so i have been dipping into the soups at lunchtime e.g had tomato and lentil but if i do i sacrifice a shake.
Dinner - Pot luck .... had veg ragu last night + bowl of salad .... usually soup + bowl veg/ salad
Excersise - Every other day do a 5k on treadmill and every other day sauna.
Snack - I have a shake.
Questions are:
1) OK to continue with the medicine or should i shelve anything for duration of diet ?
2) Is there any flexibility in the diet e.g. sacrificing a shake for a soup ? cant be 100% there isnt something slightly naughty in the soup like root veg etc .... i dont take it if its like a potato etc. .... but i did take the tomato and lentil.
Thanks in advance
