See if you can get hold of The 8 week blood sugar diet. It's an 800 calorie diet based on "real" food
@AllieRainbow - our colleague @andcol had astonishing results on his journey, which he wrote up. There's a link to,his journey in his profile signature.

He also created quite a comprehensive tracker for himself, which he offered up for others' use:

If you look at Andcol's profile, his signature also contains his continuing HbA1cs
There appear to be many ways to skin this particular cat, provided your body is in a good state to repair itself. Not everyone can manage it for a million reasons, but it's worth a go, provided you don't think things are guaranteed
They are called 'fasting mimicking diets' in the research and always seem to be between 600 and 800 cals. Sorry I'm have not got the reference but I think it was in one of Dr Fung blog posts.
600 seems to be as low as the researchers can go without too much mussel lose, but most of that research was done on lean people.
@AllieRainbow IF it is of any help I am attaching two files. Carb Diary October was kinda my NEwdcastle diet with no science behind it and drawn from my then limited understanding of what was happening in Newcastle. I also attach Carb Diary 2014 which is a food diary of everything I eat for 2014 Warts and all (Including the Nandos to start the year off). I would in my defense highlight 2014 was a year of cycle training like I had never done before with several hundred miles a week.
I was in reversal during these points in time but then went out to the states and it all went to pot so now I am back and trying to remind myself what I should be eating ;-)
..........OK PM me if you would like it and I'll try to send it to you as the forum perceives I am not worthy![]()
