The headline on Instapundit sounded exciting: A diet that could reverse diabetes. Since I had reversed my diabetes I was interested in finding out what this magic formula was. The link was to something called Science Alert.
Alas, it was just another come on. The diet consisted of eating less than 1,000 calories a day. It was discovered that if they followed the diet and lost the weight, the diabetes went away. Okay. Where is the news? Two things here are common knowledge. First, almost anyone who consumes less than 1,000 calories a day will lose weight. Second, if you lose enough weight, and you body is not already badly damaged, you will go into remission.
So where is the big break through? The problem is that people will not limit their intake for long and the weight will not stay gone.
I am waiting for the high Cheese-It consumption diet that will do away with diabetes. That I would volunteer for.
