Specifically about Prof Roy Taylors research into weight loss.
H has been diagnosed, his fasting level is 9. We have been looking into it and both feel that the drastic weight loss that Prof Taylor trialled is worth a try if it can help lower his levels dramatically or better still, put him into T2 remission.
The thing is that he works in a physically demanding job so I am concerned that a 600 or even 800 cals a day liquid only diet would be too low and he would end up off sick. I have devised a diet on 1000 calories which I think would work with him eating 6 times a days so no long gaps between food. It would involve soups and shakes (home made) with a meal at around 5pm of protein and veg, no carbs. Also taking vit/mineral supplements. Rather than achieving 15% loss in 8 weeks, I think he would manage it in 12.
Has anyone done this? Has it made a difference?
We really want to get him into remission if we can but with his lifestyle, following the letter of Prof Taylors plan would be impossible.
