Message: <blockquote data-quote="ringi" data-source="post: 1685118" data-attributes="member: 410240">If you read “The Art and Science of Low Carb Living” book you will see details of a lot of studies that cover this, however, I know none that are done with a very low-calorie diet.There have also been other studies that have shown a reduction in weight and improved A1C for people who were asked to have a few tablespoons of olive oil a day.  This study gave both groups of people the same standard diet advice, but half the people were also told to have the olive oil.  (Coconut oil had a bigger effect then olive oil in a recent study, but it was very short-term and small scale.  The leading low carb experts think coconut oil is as good or better than olive oil)Sadly the people who research “very low-calorie diets” will not work with the people who research “low carb” diet.  There has also so far no funding for large high profile studies of “very low carb” diets to reverse Type2.  The small-scale studies show results that are at least as good as “very low-calorie diets” along with more people being able to stick to it long term.  But the “very low-calorie diets” shakes makes it easy for people by removing the need to think about food, hence they also get good results.“Fat feasts” where you eat a lot of fat for a few days (no more than 2 weeks) seem to work well for very motivated people who have found that their current diet has stopped working for weight loss.  Hence they will never be able to be tested in a formal study.</blockquote>
