Newcastle Diet & Lactose intolerance

[Essex]

Hi,

I think I am going to try the Newcastle Diet after Xmas, to see what happens, and I think maybe it could help with my fatty liver and liver enzyme levels, perhaps, worth a go etc

I have a number of Q's if anyone could be so kind to answer them.

I'm not really overweight, 5'3" 10 stone (BMI 24.9) - but until my 40's was only 8 1/2 stone, and have some fat around midriff (but not a huge amount) - is it still applicable to me?

As far as I can fathom out from the booklet, I will eat 3 or 4 shakes plus 3 x 80g portions of veggies per day and lots of water
Presumably then, since, for example the pea and spinach soup recipe in the booklet will be just that plus the shakes in a day as it contains 3 portions veg?

I'm also lactose intolerant, so what about those shakes?
I am in Portugal, so I have to find which ones are available here (at an affordable price)
Just to get an idea (I am sure like everything else that they will be more expensive here), how expensive are they in UK?
Is it possible to make your own shakes / shake substitutes?
If so, any links to recipes? (for shakes, not veggie portions)

TIA

Leigh

I used tesco shakes, mixed with skimmed milk.
I used to buy them on offer 30 for £10, normally they are 10 for £4.30

From memory, many of them actually had dried milk in their contents as well.

My daughter is lactose intolerant, so adds lactase enzyme, it works well for her.

It's well worth trying, I was heaver than you, but it's the stomach fat and the internal fat that cases the problems.

lactase enzyme

I am pretty new to lactose intolerance and so almost as ignorant about that as I am about Type 2, I have never heard of that, could you give me some info / links please?

And dried milk is OK for Lactose intolerance?

So if I add this to greek yoghurt I can eat that? That would be fab as I cant find lactose free greek yoghurt without extra added sugar here

While sugar is important, so is the rest of your health.
I wouldn't stress over a few grams here or there.

Dried milk will have lactose in it, so no.
