Hi I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get support with the Newcastle diet? I have been interested in doing this for a while with shakes (to take away food temptation) and my doctor said I could do it if I wanted to before. I don’t think they would support me each week is there anything online or a group that is set up? Also if anyone has experience of this please let me know how you did it!

Thanks :)

Hi Leia,
Basically the truth behind any diet is, it will work. :bookworm:
They all promote the same idea stop the sugary treats and eat real food.

The crash diet you looking at takes this one step further eat a very small amount of food I believe it's 800 calories a day. With shake supplements if I'm right. The reason behind this is studies have shown that people can't stick to a diet for a length of time.

So the best way for most is to do as much as possible in as little time as possible i.e crash diet. Because they have no incentive to stick to it in the long run and put weight back on when they go back to eating normally.

That is not the case for us we have some pretty strong incentives.
Every body wants quick results but its more important to have substitutable results you can achieve the same results loss of weight and better glucose control eating 1200 calories for 4 months and probably find this much easer to stick to.

I tried having smoothies( substitute shake) for breakfast and never found it filling but if I put exactly the same things in a bowl and ate them it was a different story. ;)
:bag:
 
The aim of this diet is to remove visceral fat, specifically fat embedded in the pancreas impeding the function of beta cells.

It works best in those most recently diagnosed, (hopefully those most recently affected - but that's not a given), who still have
enough beta cells to respond. ( unfortunately prolonged exposure to high glucose concetrations can also damage beta cells )

It only works for about 50% of those who follow though anyway.

( It has been commented that it's a sneaky way of bringing in a low carb diet whilst still apparently obeying the "balanced diet" advocated by NHS guidelines - by reducing everything )
 
Hi @princessleia29

You might like to look at this site which has forums you can participate in
https://thebloodsugardiet.com/forums/

The blood sugar diet is a progression of the Newcaslte diet and approved by Prof Tayor et al.

Or you could post your progress and get advice and supprt from members here who have followed the ND method themselves, in the Low calorie diets sub forum.
