I've read quite a bit about Prof Roy Taylors work with the Newcastle diet. Today I have been reading Jason Fung book on fasting. It looks to me like they are both aiming for reversing diabetes by trying to mimic what happens with bariatric surgery.
Dr Fung talks a lot about fatty liver and insulin resistance... Prof Taylor talks about fatty liver and fat in the pancreas. Both say diet is the key to reversal, albeit with different approaches (VLC diet vs fasting... both extreme reduction in calories).
There seems to be a lot of commonality. Can anyone explain whether there is anything different in the underlying science between the two approaches.
