Hi I was just wondering if anyone out there is on this diet. I have just started it on Monday and have lost 4lb already. My fasting bloods are down from 7.5 to 5.9 although they do fluctuate. I am finding it hard going as I'm craving bread especially in the mornings not too bad the rest of the day. If anyone else is doing this diet I would love to hear how you are getting on as I think I'm going to need a lot of support to do it for 8 weeks!
I'm going away for the weekend so I'm not sure how I'm going to cope with eating out!
Cheers

Hi, I did this twice (the second time systematically) and intend to do this again once I've finished my end of semester marking, followed up by a maintenance diet and up my exercise.
The second time I did this I was very well organized and systematic I graphed my meter readings and my weight, by the end of the 8ight weeks I could run up 12 flights of stairs to my office in the university lost a 6th of my body weight. I did not achieve remission (not far off) and gradually lapsed into not the perfect diet. I've deteriorated in the past few years due to putting mind before body (I've wrote two books and been more sedatory than was good for my health.
I need to do this again in the light of both experience and in the light of further research on the approach Published in: Taylor, R et al., (2019 Understanding the mechanism of reversal of Type 2 diabetes. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol. May 22 2019 pp. 726-36. For those of us who hope for a cure this is the only hope we have (at the moment and its a lifestyle change with the possibility for a cure maybe 6 years in the process but living better with no further deterioration (hopefully) in the meantime, or slowing down the process. I plan to start the diet next month after finishing marking the semesters assignments and running up the university stairs to start the next semester a whole lot fitter.
I have to build in the current insulin regime to the systematic process and looking to do this with someone else.
Please do this Mallins, its your best hope and if you do it systematically it will work to some degree, but I don't know what your circumstances are. Robin
