NHS 'Soup and Shake' Diet Shows Promise in Reversing Type 2 Diabetes

Nearly a third of participants achieved diabetes remission with the low-calorie liquid diet, but concerns about sustainability and mental health risks remain.

The diet involves consuming 900 calories a day through shakes, soups, and meal-replacement bars for 12 weeks.
Participants gradually reintroduce solid foods over several weeks while receiving support from GPs.
Over 30% of participants in the year-long program achieved diabetes remission, with significant weight loss.
Experts caution that extreme diets may pose mental health risks and are not suitable for everyone.
The NHS plans to expand the program to reach more people with type 2 diabetes across England.
