Starting a Newcastle style diet tomorrow

[Madeline]

Using Stripfast Superlean whey protein shakes x3 a day, plus the vegetables and spoon of oilive oil. I did really well on Slimfast after depodding the sprogs, and am hoping this will help send the T2 packing.

 

[HOBIE]

I would give it a go, Good luck 🙂

Good luck!

I like "depodding the sprogs".

I went on a drug trial for Vit D capsules where you didn't know whether you'd get the D or the placebo, in this case olive oil capsules. I still don't know which I got - but by heck - gave me the runs after about a week!

 

[HOBIE]

I would try anything, as you are 😉 Being positive is good 😉

 

[Madeline]

Yep, won’t hurt to lose any excess podge is my feeling, and if there’s any fat in my liver, begone! <waves wand>

 

[HOBIE]

Pls let us know how it goes Madeline 😉

 

[Madeline]

Will do Hobie 🙂

I hope it works well for you.

Good luck.
It worked well for me.

(I did do it with Tesco diet shakes though, I wanted to keep it as original as possible so I stuck to the carby method. I didn't do the olive oil either, mainly as it wasn't in any of the trials, and also as a tablespoon of oil works out at 120 calories, and that was half a meal to me)

Thanks guys. I’m using this as it was the lowest carb one I could find, and it has great feedback. I just hope the chocolate tastes better than the banana, because the thought of 8 weeks on that is remarkably depressing. Upside is, I’m not at all hungry.

My personal taste was vanilla, are you trying that one?


There is no issue with carbs on the Newcastle Diet.
Most people find their BG falls very quickly as you are calorie deficient.
30g difference in the day isn't really a lot anyway, and if you replace it with protein, you'll be turning that to glucose anyway.

 

[Madeline]

I just posted this on the other thread, but this is what I’m taking.

BG has gone up, not down? Liver panicking already, and glucose dumping?

 

[Deleted member 21371]

I had a read.
About 15g of carbs per 200 calories.

The Tesco one I used was about 25g per 200 calories.

So 75g of carbs a day, (I had three a day), instead of 45g in the Stripfast.
Twice the protein in the Stripfast, that turns to glucose, albeit slower than carbs.
A little bit more fat in the Tesco one, but that was included in the calories for me.

Your BG will be up and down for a week or so whenever you change you diet.
It'll settle down after though.

 

[Madeline]

Yep, I’m going to have 4 shakes a day, that works out at 540 calories, plus the veg. Just need to work out what 200 cals of french beans looks like. A lot I hope

It is a lot!
About a bag full if I remember.

 

[Madeline]

5 cups. Same with brussels sprouts or broccoli. Poor, poor dogs

I eat my beans almost minced, with a bit of seasoning/dressing. Delicious! Well done for your start and good luck with progress. Hope you feel it very soon.

I developed a taste for chilli

 

[Madeline]

I have 194 cals of leeks, courgette, sprouts, and broccoli. I’ve added my 1tbp of olive oil and a chicken oxo cube (20 cals and 3.3 carbs, still under the 600 cal/75g carb) and turned it into a sort of soup thing. Bon appetit fellow dieters.
