[QUOTE="Ryhia, post: 2118192, member: 503862"] I don't know if this is relevant to your questions but when I was first diagnosed I followed an 800 calorie diet for 8 weeks. I had already been following a low calorie diet of about 1,000 calories a day for a month, so I simply reduced my calories even further by living on home made soups, light meals and salads for the following 8 weeks. I had read all the information relating to the Newcastle Diet and at the time thought this was the only option to try to reduce my blood levels. You should be so pleased at your results, mine were nowhere near as impressive. I went from an initial HbA1c of 53mmol/l on diagnosis, to 47mmol/l after the VLCD. Over the period of the diet lost 10kgs. After 8 weeks I was advised by my doctor to abandon VLCD as I was experiencing health issues. My VLCD was relatively low carb and low fat so having decided to follow the VLCD with a Low carb/High fat diet it was relatively easy for me to transition. I did not put any weight when I upped my food intake. In the last 3 months since the diet changeover I have lost another 11kgs and am still losing weight. This could have been because I was already eating vegetables and protein. My current BMI is 25.5 so I still have a few pounds to lose. Latest HbA1c was 39mmol/l so still not as good as your results, even eating only around 30gms of carbs a day, but am just so pleased to have made the progress I have and hopefully I can continue to keep my blood control steady. When you come to finish the ND do you have a plan of action as to what you will eat? [/QUOTE]
