Hello anyone who happens to drop by and read this. I am quite new to the site, new to Meal replacement diets, but not new to diets.
I am a T2 diabetic, so have been on Atkins, as the low carb approach suits my sugar levels. Never happy with the reasonable weight loss, I spoke with my GP who approved me to try a different approach.
Initially I couldn't believe that I could survive on this kind of diet, but have found it really quite easy. The weight is coming off at a super fast rate of knots, and my sugar levels are dropping.
Sunday will be the end of week 2. I plan to do this for around 8 weeks, as per the Newcastle diet trialed by diabetics using a liquid diet pioneered at the University of Newcastle.
So far so good. I am getting in a good amount of exercise almost every day, and also drinking lots of water.
I am very grateful I have an enlightened and forward thinking GP, many diabetics who want to try this are not getting support. I just hope at the end of the 8 weeks I can justify his faith in me - eek!
