I have been experiencing my third weight loss plateau over the past few months and am still a few pounds (20 or so) above my desired weight so... with all the talk of the Newcastle diet on other threads I thought I'd try this out for a week to see what results I get. An LCHF 800 calorie a day regime.
I intend to have my usual 2 mugs of tea with lactofree milk when I get up (this morning just had hot water as fasting for the insulin test)
Then a couple of coffees with double cream during the day.. one for lunch and one mid afternoon.
For dinner 3 eggs (probably poached) with 40g of grated cheddar.
I have put in a 10g of butter allowance in case I get hungry and another tea with lactofree for the evening.
This gives me a set of macros like this
Yes I am sad enough to measure the milk and cream!
So starting figures from this morning are
Weight 213.6
Body Fat 27%
Visceral Fat 13
BMI 28.9
Ketones 0.2
FBG 5.7
I'll update daily to keep me honest and welcome any thoughts..
I may change the composition of what I eat later in the week if this gets boring but thought the egg fast, Newcastle with cream diet sounded quite fun. Now I just need a jazzy acronym. any suggestions welcome. Oh yes its also zero carb (i.e. no plant).
