[QUOTE="vertical188, post: 415366, member: 78823"] I have seen that Roy Taylor (the lead scientist in the Newcastle diet study) has written in his updated FAQ page that he believes that the important factor is losing weight, not how rapidly it is lost, and recommends that most people take a reasonable amount of time to diet slowly rather than do the original crash diet of 800kcs, Optifast+vegetables. I don't think he has any particular evidence for this view and is possibly saying it to stop people from taking a risk with their health by going on an extreme diet. Has anyone managed to check this out with Newcastle directly? Also, even if you restrict your diet to 800kcs, is it not equally effective to use real food rather than formula? What difference could that make? After all, real food can be made a lot tastier and variable than Optifast powders. Anyone's feedback and opinions much appreciated, especially as I am newly diagnosed T2 and want to 'reverse' this condition any way I can. Thanks, [/QUOTE]
