Newcastle Diet - Lets Go!!!

Weekender said:
No alcohol or refined carbs for 34 days. The first two weeks I had a serious attempt at less than 1200 calories (soups + salads), then had a go at healthy eating + exercise. This didn't really work out as exercise resulted in compensatory eating and I was kicked out of keto / gluconeogenesis.

Fasting bloods were back to being high on week 3, so I used a bit more will power on time restricted eating - nothing between 7pm and 1pm to no effect. Horrible 'flu started in week 5 (ongoing) and fasting became less of a priority.

Fasting bloods depressingly high week 5 and 6 despite weight reducing. I have now stopped measurement first thing in the morning when I was getting 7.3 - 7.5. I now wait till before I eat at lunch time when I get 5.3 - 5.4

So I have concluded neither 'a few weeks fasting to reset' or calorie restriction / time restricted eating worked on blood sugars. Next week I have 10 hours travel to and from my new job, so I'll put the thing on hold. Hopefully I won't resume drinking alcohol though, so some success

Those readings are all pretty well the same as they are within the permitted accuracy of blood glucose monitors. Many find they suffer from morning readings being higher than the rest of the day for before meal readings as the liver releases glucose in the absence of food to give you energy for the your organs to function.
