I was working on a voluntary project 20 ish hours a week when I did the Newcastle programme. In addition I was caring for an elderly relative and attending lots of meetings medical appointments etc. the version of Newcastle diet I was using was Lipotrim Total food replacement. It was before all the findings from the first Newcastle experiment had been published, and I felt short changed somewhat when I realised I could have had vegetables in addition to the diet products. It was, however, very easy to stick to, particularly as my caring responsibilities meant that I had difficulty finding time to shop, plan and cook meals. The Newcastle programme, which includes veg should be easy enough to fit into a working day. If doing it again, instead of Lipotrim I would you a supermarket own brand. You can get them in powder form to mix with milk or ready mixed drink cartons. The veg component would mean that I could use soup, or a salad to take to work so unless I chose to tell people nobody would need to know. The social occasions involving food were the most difficult for me. I am generally a private person, and so did not like the curious questioning of others.
I was thinking about it if the weight loss plateaus with LCHF. I had hoped that it would come off quicker and there are certain times of the month where I just maintain which is frustrating. I was concerned that I would feel too hungry at work and wondered if it was something I could maybe do in the holidays.
what they eat makes me cringe especially as they also suffer from high blood pressure and previous heart attacks and angina. They never test their bgs even though they have meter and strips. They take their tablets so that must mean it's under control.
