5.9 I had hoped for better after an omelette for yesterday’s tea but at least it’s a five so That’s good.
Hi! I was wondering but suppose it was not that bad since I didn't feel any dizziness etc.Is that good or bad for you?
I did wonder if you were trying the Newcastle diet again, as I think you mentioned a while ago that you were considering this. Its good to see your series of low results best I think have seen you post so I say again well done!
Morning All. 5.5 today but very small supper. Good to see you in the 5s @DJC3.
Hi @Ryhia , I have used the Newcastle diet method more than once. It works for me.
This time though, I have cut out carbs and eaten smaller portions and (again it works for me) consumed less than 1000 calories a day for about 6 weeks. Though I mixed that up by eating less on some days, and the 1000 cals is average. Lots of veg, some good quality protein, not afraid to use butter, but no more than 2teaspoons a day.
This morning fasting level was 6.0. I did experiment last night and ate a crusty roll with lamb stew which had potatoes in it. Before reading was 4.2, after 2 hours it was 8.8. To comfort myself I ate half a packet of crisps. Oops! Over it now, and eating sensibly, around 1400 calories and less than 60gr carbs, which will be from vegetables.
