[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2445518, member: 196898"] The first and second ND trials used Optifast shakes and the second one was the one that did the MRI work. The Optifast website at the time carried a warning that a few participants doing the 800 cal diet might experience nutritional ketosis and provided advice on how to deal with it if it does happen. So their 800 cal diet was supposed to run just above the threshold for ketosis, apparently. Roy Taylor took their diet and added 200 cal of carbs on top to ensure that ketosis was not part of his diet plan. It was very important as I said above for this diet plan to operate without any mention of carbs or ketosis since that would have been the death knell to further funding and would invalidate the research in the eyes of most NHS licenced practitioners. Ketosis was considered unsafe at that time. The other point to make is that this diet being ultra low cal inevitably requires low fat intake, which is also necessary to be considered. It is not just calorie reduction, but also lipid removal, and so it is not just any old diet. The low fat component will ensure that any fat-burning is not from diet supplied lipids, and so must come from the adipose sources. [/QUOTE]
