[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 876070, member: 48386"] All the information (except the bit about needing a teaspoon of oil a day to avoid gallstones which is at the Optifast site) is contained in various documents available at the Newcastle Uni site: [URL]http://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres/research/diabetes/reversal.htm[/URL] The best thing to do is download/print all of the PDF files about the protocol from that site. The original diet was 3 Optifast meal replacement shakes a day - around 600 calories plus 200 calories of the vegetables specified in the diet programme. There is a problem in that Optifast is prescription only in the UK - we're luckier here in Australia as it is sold in pharmacies. If you can't get your GP on board, then is the time to worry about alternative ways of tackling it. Some of the people here have modified the diet to suit themselves, especially if their doctor doesn't support them - hence the various shakes, meal replacements, etc. Some people have used just real food at the 800 calorie level to achieve the same result. There is also a very good video by Professor Taylor that explains the science behind the diet: [URL]http://www.fend-lectures.org/index.php?menu=view&id=94[/URL] [/QUOTE]
