That's great and you're lucky. I was called a quack and told basically to get lost by the forum members of the American diabetes society, in 2012, when I told them these facts. Even when I showed them it was published in their own journal not 1 said anything positive. I wonder how many have died and gone blind etc by not understanding these studies.

Im a seventy four year old man who was diagnosed with T2DM about 20 years ago. Since then ive mostly ignored the disease until 4 years ago when i read about Prof roy Taylor and his team at Newcastle undertaking his DIRECT project. In July 2021 during surgery for bladder cancer the surgeon informed me that my HbA1c was 118mmol/mol and he advised me to get it down if i wanted to see 80. I decided to make the effort and followed some of professor Roy Taylors heath advice which included losing a lot of weight. I began with a protocol of 900/1100 calories a day following 20-24 hours intermittent fasting / Sugar & Carbs Low / Protein and fibre high in accordance with Glycaemic Index. My HbA1c taken in August 2023 was 45mmol/mol and im due another test in November 2023 / expectations of 42mmol/mol. In the beginning of the challenge i had a couple of Hyperglycaemic or Hypoglycaemic attacks but that was corrected with diet change.

The sad thing is that we've been scared away from fat, which is the most inert/safest macronutrient to eat. Our body typically uses 12% protein, 25% carbohydrate, with the balance from fat, and our digestive system is such that we ought to eat close to what the body uses and therefore needs. Societally we eat a country mile from what the body actually wants, and we keep being advised to eat too much carbohydrate, or at the other extreme, too much protein.

Peer reviewed, randomised control studies consistently show that eating large amounts of saturated fats gives higher risk of cardiovascular disease compared to eating unsaturated fat. Thus, similar to carbohydrates, the type very much matters. Avoid transfats, limit saturated fats, eat unsaturated fats. What foods contain these can be found on Google.

After watching another Professor Taylor interview on KZbin recently I bought his book. Now I am in my third week of following his (or close as possible here in the US) Rapid Wt Loss plan. I've been strongly battling prediabetes for 15 years, but I had only now read the cause and it's so understandable to my mind -- so the remedy is simple, too. Plus the plan, as he says it needs to be, is simple to adhere to. I've always shied away from calorie counting so the 20+ g protein drinks plus a dietary supplement 'multi-nutrient formula' at each 'meal' and then some fish, beef, chicken breast, etc. with a salad for ruffage for dinner - works even eating out, very well.

@@trotskyite1 insulin drives anabolic metabolism while down regulating DNA surveillance and repair while also down regulating removal of damaged proteins. Something like 70% or so of cancers include at least one mutation in the insulin pathway. No wonder, then, that pre-diabetes and diabetes increase the risk for cancer by 800%. Cutting the carbs cuts the blood sugar, cuts the insulin, cuts the chronic anabolic state, and let's your body not just burn off ectopic fat, but also increase DNA quality control and routine cellular cleanup, among other things. Whether by going very low calorie (Taylor) or just very low carb but normal calorie (Unwin) or zero carb (Saladino) or systematic fasting (Fung) the central mechanism is the same: lower insulin secretion in response to dietary carbohydrate load. A pleasant side benefit is significant weight loss for those who are overweight. Win win, whichever strategy you find most enjoyable and most sustainable as a lifestyle.

@@joanneclark8256 (and to molw:) The important point is to get to 800 cal per day with proper nutrition (hence shakes - guaranteed vitamin intake, etc.) When you go to low cal intake, your body adjusts, as with keto, and so its not as awful as it sounds. I dont know what "PCOS" is, and I dont know what drugs you may be on. If you are on diabetes drugs, be careful, because if you reverse your diabetes, you are now normal, but on diabetes drugs = danger of overmedication. If you are not on drugs, you are aiming to replicate bariatric surgery. Radical calorie decrease. Eat whatever you like, on whatever diet you like, just much less. Note: Cut out alcohol and sugar. These are liver poisons. You could eat a couple of beef patties a day + green beans, or a bunch of meal replacement shakes, its not important. His entire idea is to reduce caloric intake, so long as you get all the nutrients you need. Buy his book, or read his website. Simplest is 3 meal replacement shakes per day. (200 cals each) plus a 200-cal salad. After that, its up to you. Paleo, keto, intermittent fasting, all good. But remember - if you are on drugs, do it under supervision so any glucose drugs can be backed off as you improve.

Its not about fat restriction, or carb restriction, or protein restriction. Its PURELY about calorie restriction. While making sure you get the nutrients you need. Vitamins, protein, omega-3's, etc. Carb restriction helps because it stops your blood sugar swings, but his idea is that because the calorie restriction will improve your glucose handling rapidly, its not important. When I did this, I ate a large salad for lunch (most veg are almost no calories, but check) and green beans with some butter and mushrooms plus a burger (for protein) for dinner. 3-4 meal shakes is good too, plus some veg for bowel movements. But obviously, with a tablespoon of oil being 200 calories, you dont want to go to 3 tablespoons of oil for your food per day. This is basically an 8-week fast, with some nutrients to keep you from dying. You get used to it, your body adapts. Eating 3 times that for 5 times as long of a diet is OK too. Its just slower to achieve results, and easier to fall off the wagon

Such a simple concept, but even though after 5 years clear the NHS continues to waste resources on me. The damn QRISK calculator even had them trying to concoct a "hypertension" narrative based on white coat readings My cholesterol is in the "ideal" range, my BP is 110/80... when I hit 70 my AGE will tip me into the red. The calculator doesn't care about diet or exercise but adds 1 percent risk for POSTCODE. . I feel sorry for those around me who are not able to lose the weight and take offence when it's even mentioned. But how can anyone "live with" a terrifying disease. ? . As a "fat but fit" 59 year old (ethical) vegan cyclist, In 2019 I found the diagnosis (after flu laid me out) as embarrassing as terrifying and lost the first 10 kilos in time for the 3 month repeat HbA1c which of course was normal. 5 years later I'm 23 kilos down at a BMI of 25 and aiming for the 23.5 of my athletic 30s. . My diet is "high carb" WFPB as it has been for over 40 years (perhaps close to a Mediterranean" macro balance) - is this "under dietary control" ? I would be mortified if anyone assumed I was part of the "low carb" cult. I consider myself CURED though they never even offered me a glucose stress test let alone insulin measurements.I would happily get on a VO2MAX treadmill but would draw the line at MRI. I had probably been sailing close to the wind when I was heavy - though doubtless my cycling kept me safe and I was cycling 10 to 20 every day and routinely adding 40 miles on a Sunday.. but I "bonked" a few times in the days when insanely I though fruit juice was "cycling fuel" ... I got fat on ad-libitum flour products. . I guess I will never know if there is any permanent damage but my blood metrics are all "ideal" and I consider myself CURED

Yes, you can restrict carbs by eating an 850 Calorie/day diet. But you can also restrict carbs to 30g/day or less (all the way down to zero, if you like) while eating an otherwise normal calorie diet. Professor Taylor nicely shows that excess carb consumption is the driver of Type 2 diabetes. His subsequent emphasis on weight loss, rather than carb restriction, seems odd because his own model makes it clear that excess carbs are the driver of the liver fat deposits and pancreatic fat deposits. Ultimately, if carbs are the culprit, cutting carbs is the solution... by whichever method you find sustainable and enjoyable. ❤

People seem not to understand the idea: Roy is agnostic how you lose the weight; the weight loss is the important thing. But he has found that his people find it easier to follow his severe diet for a short time than a more lenient diet for a long time. Easier, not better. If you wanted to cut your alcohol consumption (or icecream), is it better to have only one drink per day for a year? Or to have none at all for 2 months? He doesnt care, so long as your alcohol intake is down over the year. He finds that cold turkey for 2 months is easier for his study group. Easier, not better. The aim is for you to lose 20% of your body weight. After that - whatever works for you. Just (1) make sure you get enough fiber and nutrients (vitamins), and (2) if you are on meds, reduce your meds with your doc. so you dont go hypo because you are now taking diabetic meds even though your diabetes is cured. That's it. I have done this, it worked, and now I'm struggling every couple of years to avoid relapses. This is where all the diets come in. I'm loosely paleo and not worrying too much, but when the weight creeps up, so do the blood sugar numbers. But for the intervention? Think of it like drug rehab. Its not a life plan. Its intervention. Do it, get it over with. Get back to your life. Find your target weight (the weight at which your sugars are OK), and stay there. How you do it? your choice. If you have prediabetes, its likely losing 10% of your weight. Diagnosed diabetes? Maybe 20%. Lose the weight. Semaglutides? Why not. Keto? Why not. Just lose the weight. When your sugar is OK, thats your proper weight. Try and stay there. That's it. If you find 1400 cals a day for several months difficult, try his 800 cals for 8 weeks. Just bite the bullet. Some find it easier. If you dont? Fine. Try the slow, long way. Whatever works for you. Just lose the weight. or have your foot amputated. Either way.
