[QUOTE="Neohdiver, post: 1106174, member: 258692"] In the end you're still left with a scientist who offers no explanation for why his dietary plan works, and no explanation for why it appears to reverse diabetes of short duration in 1-2 weeks, not to mention that his explanation for why he chose the particular dietary components is (1) it was available and provided free by Nestle and (2) it provided complete nutrients. In contrast, he currently claims (even though none of his 3 studies are designed to test it) that (1) any low calorie plan will work and (2) even a merely hypocaloric plan that loses the same amount over time will work - as long as the weight loss is significant. His claims are accompanied by a fairly complex explanation of the metabolic interactions that make it work - although they do not explain the very early reversal generated by the very ow calorie diet. I would be far more likely to give the diet iteslf credence if either Dr. Taylor or Dr. Fung or someone else offered a science based theory for the early drop & for why rapid weight loss would make a difference beyond reaching your goal faster. Dr. Fung's assertions about whether the diet stresses your body, aside, there are reasons that formally structured very low calorie diets always recommend, and sometimes require, close medical supervisions.
