I was never really overweight on the outside my BMI was slightly over normal I had made provisions for weight increase hence going down to just over 60kg have since put on about 5lbs now the hard work starts in maintaining this weight at this point. As you have so kindly told me Arab horse your weight is not the issue so what I would do instead of doing the 800 cals deviate this to maybe 1000-1200 but over a longer period say 12 weeks. So it's less of a shock to your slim body I'm not quite sure what you are expecting from your liver scan but I'm sure they will tell you there and then and so hope that it's nothing too serious. Everybody's circumstance is different i deviated the ND to suit me I wanted rapid weight loss as soon as I'm a very impatient sort of guyFlashtash2014, thanks for all the info; it has made me even more determined to do the diet after my liver scan on the 23rd even if it comes back as a non fatty liver (can they tell that from a liver scan or will it just tell me if I have cirrhosis or a tumour, both very unlikely I hope?) as I have nothing to lose except some weight. I will stop if I go much below 6 stone but being thin already 800 calories a day isn't such a drop as I need a lot less calories than someone who is overweight just to keep ticking over.
What has happened with your weight since reverting to "proper" food? I would probably expect a modest increase due to the increased food in your system, and maybe fluid retention whilst the increased carbs (holding fluid) go through your system? Again, not a challenge, just I think Prof Taylor suggests weight may rise very slightly, initially, due to these factors?
I may have mis-remembered that last bit of course. Call it age........ (If you dare)
I was the same on on the diet I never varied my options at all it was the same salad all of the time nothing else I got sick of veg because of the prep time and cooking veg without any oil was horrendous so salad it was eating my first hot meal in 6 weeks was a strange sensation I managed to hold down a few mouthfuls of a meatball casserole but not for very long before I bought the lot up again. Only then did I wonder what the hell I had done on this insane diet but that fazed out after a few meals but as my stomach had shrunk I was eating the quantity of a 4 year old and gradually built up my tolerance to heavier foods"As you have so kindly told me Arab horse your weight is not the issue so what I would do instead of doing the 800 cals deviate this to maybe 1000-1200 but over a longer period say 12 weeks.

I don't know if I could manage 12 weeks! I did think if my glucose results every day were good I may even be able to cut the time down to say 6 weeks instead of 8 depending on the weight loss. I will have to wait 2 weeks for the result of my liver scan. My DN suggested it before I did the ND as she thought it was unlikely that I am thin outside/fat inside but I would really like to eat a bit more normally. I really, really miss my fruit and am bored with the things I can eat. It would be great to have a slightly more varied diet and keep my glucose lower than it is at present.
You can do it's quite easy I have found peanut butter as my new best friend it's tasty sweat and savoury and if you buy a brand called Meridian crunchy or smooth from Holland and Barrett it's got nothing in it apart from peanuts so no added Palm oils or sugar or preservatives and it fills you up you can get an almond version of it tooIf I lose more weight I really would want to regain it when I finish the ND as I am too thin already.
So nearly 2 weeks on and my BG levels before and after meal s have come in below diabetes UK recommendations and eating normally which is what I intended to do. Introduced some sugars back into the diet eg chocolate to see what my readings would be after meals and had no effects on my readings at all also had a can of normal coke and still had no effect on the readings. I'm not going to test my luck with that test again thoughreading of 5.9 Further results will be posted in due course
I started on 3 shakes but went down to 2 after the first week veg wise I also gave up very quickly stuck to salads after that with lots of herbs and spices but never deviated from the diet and it's worked. Small price to pay 8 weeks of hell for a lifetime without meds as I am nowI'm been doing ND a week but vegetables only is making me feel sick. Does anyone know if it's ok to only have two shakes and a Very low calorie meal eg broccoli and small chicken breast. I can't stomach another plate of onions!!

Thank you. I'll do it for six month as long as I don't have to eat anymore onions.You don't need to do shakes, just eat anything you like but calorie count everything and no cheating and keep up the water consumption. If not doing shakes and maybe even with I'd recommend a vitamins and mineral supplement - I also have a fish oil supplement.
