No weight loss this morning. I am ever hopeful that the last
two weeks of this diet will see me at 148, a loss of 22 pounds. This was the average weight loss of all the
Newcastle Diet participants over 8 weeks.
What this means is that as long as you have a good balance of fat,
protein, carbs, and fiber, you can indeed use ordinary food to do the weight
loss, rather than the all protein drink and 200 calories of non-starch veggies
that the study participants did. I am
sure they felt weak, constipated, and listless after their 8 weeks.
At this point, I would be classified as a non-responder in
that diet because my fasting blood glucose has remained really high. But we still have two weeks to go on the
diet, then I am going on with the diet and the Vielight 810 for as much as
another month. After I hit 140, I will
go off the diet and cautiously start adding food back in. I will start with adding nuts and dried
fruit, which I am craving constantly now, and then sourdough bread. Both of these have a glycemic index like
fruit and veggies, so that would be a first good choice to increase
calories. After that, beans, sweet
potatoes and starchy veggies. Add
calories back in slowly, so I will try adding 200 calories per week when I
“graduate.” The Vielight 810 should
increase my calorie burning over time, but I cannot assess right now what my
upper limit for calories will be without gaining weight, after dieting.
