The egg marketing boards need to get on this and sponsor a "dozen eggs a day" and nothing else diet diabetes study. That and a standard multivitamin would probably be a better shake than the one prescribed to patients.
I think the Newcastle studies this initiative is based on are good science, they make obvious an observation of diabetes reversal/remission that's cropped up all over the place in various protein sparing modified fast and extended fasting studies.
Dr. Maholtra mentions low carb remission of diabetes. Spontaneous appetite reduction--people try to put it down to only that, as if there's any "only" in the complicated system that is metabolism. But it would be interesting, once we can get people to admit that diabetes remission is a think on low carb, to see if people who reverse their diabetes experience greater appetite reduction leading up to the reversal, or not. Would a period of lower calories, initially, get people there faster? A problem with low calories is sustainability. Lose weight on low calories, maybe appetite decreases during the diet--and maybe lower insulin from the lower calorie intake drives the decrease in appetite. Lobster trap of weight loss, how do you back out of the low calories when you're at goal weight? I think calories on a standard maintenance diet will have insulin high enough to drive weight regain in many, maybe most people. How about, when people have graduated from the program, send them to see Dr. Bernstein, and he can tell them how to minimize insulin needs, while providing the body what it needs to thrive?
