Low Carb way of eating (not necessarily a Calorie restriction). This site's Low Carb Programme's published data cites c40% into "remission", if I recall.  Longer terms rates are awaited, as they become available.2. Restricted Eating period also called Intermittent Fasting (IF) or 16:8.I haven't seen any stats for this, although that could be because although I do eat in a window facilitating a slightly extended fasting period, it has never been a targeted tool by myself.  If you have published stats for that, I'd be interested to read them.3. Severe Calorie  restriction by:A). Longer term fasting - I have no idea what the stats say about that, but I doubt it's 100%, except those who fast until expiry.B).  Crash diet e.g.  Newcastle diet - Professor Taylor's work, from memory returns a remission rate of c36%,from memory, with longer terms rates awaitedC).  Bariatric Surgery - I don't believe bariatric surgery cures everyone, else we'd all have gone onto the waiting lists somewhat pronto?If you have stats for 100% or near 100% success rates, I'd be interested to read the papers supporting the numbers.</blockquote>
