[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 2183451, member: 52527"] Sorry, bit of a late reply but Richard Doughty's initial height and weight gave him a BMI of 23 which is in the upper half of the normal range - this does not equate with 'thin'. Prof Taylor has hypothesized that everyone has a 'personal fat threshold' above which they become diabetic. Most people would not reach this threshold until they are overweight or obese. For some people, however, their personal fat threshold lies in the upper range of normal BMI so they may be able to put their diabetes into remission by sufficient weight-loss to reduce their BMI to low normal. As [USER=460354]@Debandez[/USER] says, if someone is thin (BMI below normal range), they can't afford to lose weight on a VLCD. [/QUOTE]
