hi everyone!
this this is my first post- i was diagnosed type 2 in 2011, i am 49 and managed to get it under control by diet the first year, but totallyl lost control over the last year, been in fight /flight mode and denial. Two weeks ago i tested myself and the meter read 22.
after doing a lot of reading,i started the newcastle diet last saturday, using slimfast, my starting weight 82kg, the first night awafull headache, but after that i have been absolutly fine,i dont feel slugish, feel good in myself and surprised i dont feel hungry, i tested myself today my reading was 5.5, will weigh myself on saturday, havent managed to incorporate any excersie yet.
i started making soup with my veg, but found it more satisfying to use the vegtables in a salad, as you feel like you are actually chewing something, i was meant to go on metformin but have struggled to take it after having a nasty reaction to antibiotics at the beginning of the year, which put me off medication.
anyone starting this diet same time as me!!!!!!
