[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1572102, member: 219467"] Yes there is in fact quite a bit. Dr Fung's belief is that as Type 2's we have become insulin resistant i.e our bodies still make it (unlike in Type 1) but we don't use it effectively. By fasting we stop prompting our bodies to produce insulin (by not taking in any food which causes insulin production) so we can allow our bodies to use up the excess glucose that we have and over time re-introduce a "normal" insulin response. Because you are eating fewer meals this may lead to less calorie intake but the main point is in reducing insulin levels rather than starving. Also fasting has been shown to boost your metabolic rate so you will be burning more of your intake (or body fat). The ND is different in that the shakes and food 4 times a day will each spark insulin production which means your body won't get a rest. You won't get the reset benefit. Also after a while (and we will all be different here) severe calorie restriction has been shown to slow our metabolic rate so that you need to eat less and less food to stay the same weight which is often why after classic "dieting" you tend to put on the weight you have lost plus a bit because you have slowed your metabolism. Those are the theoretical differences in approach from my limited understanding. [/QUOTE]
