Great, but the problem a lot of people have is being able to control cravings and over-consumption. For many of them it’s not as simple as just saying ‘well don’t do that’. It’s not really news that ‘dieting makes you lose weight’. If they were serious about this, they’d be offering Mysimba along with it to help people actually not be hungry while following this diet.
Not really sustainable though is it, like all quick fix diets.
Having healthier eating habits and regular exercise can beat type 2 diabetes, well at least reverse it somewhat. Soup and shake diet, atkins, keto, whatever it is doesn’t matter if the person can’t stop themselves eating doughnuts.
For anyone who is intrigued but thinking “Wow, I could never do that”, I’d like to add some anecdotal evidence as someone who presumed they could ‘never’ do any kind of extreme diet.
Years ago I did my first 30-day vegetable-juice fast as an elimination diet to help identify food intolerances for an issue that was running my life, and very unexpectedly it seemed to reset my body and eliminate the issue at hand completely. I did it with my doctor’s knowledge, but they didn’t encourage it. I’ve since done it about 5 or 6 more times. Generally it goes like this:
*(Sidenote: I occasionally had fruit mixed in to the drinks but in limited quantities, so I tend to refer to it as a vegetable-juice fast)*
**Day 1-3**: (I allow myself as many juices as I want for these days, and more fruit juice – ). I don’t encounter massive hunger, but sometimes don’t feel 100% satiated. Sometimes I feel crappy (lethargic, headache) and sometimes I’m fine.
**Day 4-6**: No Hunger. It’s weird, you’ll get hungry and think “this juice will never fill me up”. But then 3 hours later you’ll get hungry again and realise that you clearly hadn’t felt hungry for 3 hours. Also, all cravings significantly reduce.
**Day 7-14**: I often feel **amazing**. I have lots of energy (enough to handle cardio workouts). I sometimes get better mental clarity. I can be around people eating delicious food without feeling particularly cheated. Cravings are zero.
**Day 15-25**: The main issue here is boredom. Lots of veg juices taste similar.
**Day 25-30**: Sometimes I feel like I need to stop at about this point. Sometimes I do, while other times I push on. Boredom is the issue *but* I have a theory that the real benefits only come after a certain period. I’ve started juice-fasts before and then stopped them after a couple of weeks, and the benefits don’t seem to last, whereas when I complete 30-days it feels like a major reset occurs. It’s interesting to me that now we know it can completely reset type 2 diabetes. If anyone wants to know more about what I did, look up the free documentary “Fat, Sick &! Nearly Dead” on YouTube or other streaming platforms.
Bear in mind that the NHS diet is longer in duration, but incudes soups & shakes. I expect they are more satiating and will be less boring.
I’m no longer planning on doing any more juice-fasts (but have just completed my first 36 hour water fast, and plan to do those frequently, but wow, killer headache at the end) – see r/fasting if interested
What is with this sub recently.
A promising report on helping people become healthier. Then loads of people in the comments start saying that it’s okay to be obese and sob stories how much harder it is for them.
This is also useless for that rare but real subset of people with diabetes and other conditions which respond better to a high calorie, quite unhealthy diet. I’m currently in the diagnostic process for possible MND/ALS, and ironically, switching to a cleaner diet seems to have exacerbated my symptoms of weakness and deterioration, whatever good it’s had on my blood sugar levels.
Or, just, you know, eat fruit and vegetables (which an alarming number of my colleagues – who are all obese – don’t do at all), cut out the daily giggle juice and McJunk and other sugary crap and get some exercise.
A correctly managed ketogenic diet will also reverse T2D without the hunger you’d experience doing this soup and shake approach.
What a surprise! not eating carbs and sweets can help reduce weight. Reversal of diabetes may be temporary though. It will come back soon after you start eating regular diet.
