I have been having a think about how to tackle visceral fat. I have been looking at the Newcastle Diet, and wondering whether I could do that. My main issue with it is not the calorie restriction, but the idea of shakes, which makes me want to hurl just thinking about them - I like real food!!
I started to also consider the accidental fasting that happened on the second week of my experiment with fasting to target BG in order to get lower BG results, and also lose weight.
Then I started to think about how I could combine the two...a real food Newcastle Diet with Intermittent Fasting.
I have a potential plan which involves:
Monday & Tuesday - fast
88 cals per day for drinks - 1 x beef oxo with 15ml double cream - total 88 cals/2.6 carbs
Plenty of water + some salt
Wednesday through Sunday - feed (1085 cals/day < 20 carbs)
1 x coffee with 20ml coconut cream - 52 cals/2.0 carbs
Plenty of water.
OMAD - LCHF - protein, healthy fats, nuts, veggies + twist of salt - 1033 cals
Total weekly calories: 5601
Newcastle Diet: 5600
Edited to reflect ND diet of 800 cals per day - 600 cals shakes and 200 cals non-starchy vegetables.
What do you think of this?
