Thanks Mage 1Well done I look forward to reading your updates I feel you have got this
Week 25
Anyone else finding the increase in food adverts as we approach xmas making the things a bit more of a challenge?
I had been enjoying some time off the beer, but my father-in-laws 80th party last Thursday popped that balloon.
Fitbit states I was only half as active (164 very active minutes) as my rolling average (319) last week - I need to get out in the cold and rain a bit more.
I've been extra vigilant on snacks so my weight is constant (80.4kg)
Fasting Blood Sugar average 5.7

I agree. It's all a bit tumbleweed.Fluctuations in weight of 0.2, 0.5 kg are only the equivalent of a cup of tea or a wee. I can never think of so little variation as real.
How are you getting on?This is very encouraging to read. I am on week 3 of the Newcastle Diet and my FBG in the morning is still in 6s and 7s and even 8 an hour after waking. It’s close to normal the rest of the day though. Still sticking to it, to wait and see what happens!
I skipped the update last week. I've also skipped a few readings.
I think I've been a bit complacent as a result of going to the gym.
Weight gain could be added muscle.
But I suspect it is more to with potatoes and inactivity.
Last night I looked at my activity minutes and calories and they are declining.
My weight is increasing.
So I went out for a jog in the rain and dark.
The power of keeping score 🙂

So for me, I'm currently thinking I will relax things over the next few days, and will probably gain a little weight back - but then the following week to reign it in and go back to normal, or possibly a little less calories to pull it back - I'm thinking similar 5:2 for a couple of weeks just to pull it back, but lets see!Blood sugars are fine, but weight is creeping up
I've addressed the reduction in activity, but this isn't making any difference.
It's lack of control on snacks.
After Xmas I might have a few days on 800 calories or try the 5:2 or something
But for now, I'm taking it easy - have a great (sugar free) Christmas
i'm on week 5 or 6 of Newcastle diet. I have lost 7.5 kg and it seems to be slowing. Guess i'm on the 'harder to lose' fat now. I won't give up though. Cant exercise as have tachycardia and no sight of seeing cardiology till late feb. You are doing well.This is very encouraging to read.

Hi, the weight loss does slow down, and I hit a plateau for a few weeks at week 6 which was demoralising. I wouldn't worry about exercise - in fact Prof Taylor's advice is "do not exercise during the diet". It just makes you hungrier / encourages snacking. One suggestion is to drink even more water, as this is needed to convert fat to the energy you need (lipolysis). The diet plan (attached) suggests an extra 4 pints a day, but I found drinking more than this seemed to helpi'm on week 5 or 6 of Newcastle diet. I have lost 7.5 kg and it seems to be slowing.
