Reverse diabetes!
In Great Britain they think that this diet is the key to reversing diabetes and, in the process, making you lose weight without rebound.
The liquid-based diet seems to be the solution to reversing diabetes, or at least that’s what they think in Britain. The British newspaper, The Telegraph, published a note where it mentions that the National Health Service (NHS) located in London, will prescribe thousands of people with diabetes the liquid diet in an attempt to reverse said disease. This is because they think that the liquid diet, in addition to being effective for losing weight, is the key to eradicating diabetes and pre-diabetes. Overweight people will be subjected to a strict regimen that will limit daily calorie consumption to 800 grams. It is estimated that 200,000 people who suffer from obesity will enroll in this program created by the NHS and where they will receive individual training and advice on nutrition for free. And at least 5,000 people diagnosed with diabetes will be recruited to be the target of a study where a trial will be carried out on the importance of liquid diets to reverse diabetes. Patients will be prescribed fat-free shakes and soups for three months, with a follow-up support period to maintain weight loss.
What is the liquid diet?
*The liquid diet, also known as total replacement diet, involves giving up all normal foods and instead consuming soups and powdered shakes. This type of food is characterized because it contains around 200 calories and the success of this diet is due to the fact that it maintains daily calorie consumption at less than 850 per day. Given this, some experts believe that liquid diets are not only effective in maintaining discipline because of how easy it is to eliminate temptations, but that they may be the key to reversing diabetes and pre-diabetes.
What do the experts think about this?
At a briefing on the harm of saturated fat in London, Professor Naveed Sattar, from the University of Glasgow, said milkshakes could help people reduce their fat intake. But for that, a support plan is needed so that they are better known than fatty foods that cause diabetes in the long term. ** “Changing the formulations so that we have someone who can walk into a store and quality foods are cheaper and low-nutritious foods are more expensive will make people choose better quality foods. “We have already started down that path, but we have to go much further to reformulate it, otherwise the reality is that obesity will still be with us in 20 or 30 years”, said Sattar. Simon Stevens, NHS chief executive, said: “The NHS will now take practical action to help thousands of people avoid heart attacks, strokes, cancer and type 2 diabetes caused by obesity. “The NHS long-term plan will give people the power and support to take control of their own lifestyle, so they can help themselves,” Stevens said. ** While health experts in Britain said food companies should be forced by law to make their products healthier to combat the obesity epidemic. Given this, the Public Health Secretary in England (PHE) has already asked the food industry to reduce their calories by 20 percent by 2024. * If you want to read more scientific articles, click here
