Soup and Shake Diet Shows Promise in Reversing Type 2 Diabetes
NHS program reports significant remission rates, though long-term efficacy remains uncertain.
- A year-long NHS program saw 32% of Type 2 diabetes patients achieve remission with a low-calorie diet.
- Participants lost an average of 35 pounds by consuming 800-900 calories daily from soups and shakes.
- The program involved 12 weeks of meal replacements followed by gradual reintroduction of solid foods.
- Researchers caution that the diet may not be suitable for everyone and long-term results are still being studied.
- The NHS plans to expand the program, currently enrolling 10,000 participants annually.
