Hi Guys,
Yesterday was the start of week 5 for me, so my weekly update with weight and BG.
Starting weight day 1 was 17st 10lbs - now 16 st 1lb
Starting BG
Mornings was 7 now 4
Evenings was 7.2 now 4.3
Not much weight loss last week; I think my body is getting "wise" to this diet.
In fairness, I am not keeping to the right portion sizes, so consuming more than 800 calories a day - no idea how many as I'm not counting. However, I AM sticking to the agreed number of shakes and only eating the foodstuffs allowed on the diet.
I find myself "snacking" a lot now on cherry tomatoes - a least two punnets per day. :shock:
Finding it remarkably easy NOT to crave alcohol, chocolate, dairy (especially eggs), red or white meat.
Like others before me, my mind is wandering towards "life after the Newcastle diet". My thoughts are I will probably continue with shakes, as I find them both convenient and tasty. Possibly just two a day rather than 3.
I will stick to the salad and veg as the staple back drop of my diet; gradually introducing fish, eggs, white and red meat.
I will always try and avoid pizza, potatoes, chips and junk food in general.
Will possibly go back onto acai berry supplements to ensure my cravings remain a thing of the past.
My goal for the remaining 3 weeks is to get to 15 and a half stone and thereafter try and keep below the 16 stone mark.
Good luck to everyone and don't keep taking the tablets. :wink:
