As I said above it will vary with everyone who undertakes the regime. 15% is just Prof Taylor's guess and has (so far as I now) no scientific proof. The whole body of science here is cutting edge which is why the next study is currently underway. Until this is published (and probably even after that) there won't be any certainty that it will work the same way for everyone or even that it will work for everyone. The main thing seems to be loosing visceral fat. The only sure way to see if that is happening is to have a dexa scan (best before you start) good luck with getting that on the NHS!However how do you calculate that threshold ? I am some 25 KG lighter now than I was when I was diagnosed but I still have diabetes. There must be more to this than just an 8 week time frame or 15% weight loss.
I guess I should have wrote a longer opening post to include that I have read all of the NC diet studies and know about the fat threshold claim. However how do you calculate that threshold ? I am some 25 KG lighter now than I was when I was diagnosed but I still have diabetes. There must be more to this than just an 8 week time frame or 15% weight loss.
I read the link above some time ago and I believe it has a classification all of its own.
Its a diet losing fat is the aim, I am not having liposuction I am dieting !!! How do I target the correct sort of fat ?
One constant in the management of T2 diabetes seems to be the desire that T2s stay trim.
Professor Taylor's found that some of the people who reversed their Type2 were still clinically abused after doing his diet.
If you can also get the scales recommended by @Bluetit1802 the additional readings the Tanita units provide are really good, I can vouch for the cheaper version http://www.argos.co.uk/product/3595653 as I got similar numbers for https://tanita.eu/products/segmental-body-composition-monitors/bc-545nUnderstood but 33% would take me down into the high 50s in KGs that would in my opinion be too much.
Dammit I just bought some digital scales, had no idea you could buy scales that measure internal fat.

Thanks @Mbaker I will pick some up next time I am over by Argos.If you can also get the scales recommended by @Bluetit1802 the additional readings the Tanita units provide are really good, I can vouch for the cheaper version http://www.argos.co.uk/product/3595653 as I got similar numbers for https://tanita.eu/products/segmental-body-composition-monitors/bc-545n
LOL I do hope they weren't abused!!! Sorry ... couldn't resist.
A lot of people with Type2 can get into non-diabetic range HbA1c by eating low carb with enough fat that they don't lose any weight. The real test is can you eat a blueberry muffin and your BG remain in a normal range.....
