The NHS diet replaces meals with shakes and soups and can induce rapid weight loss
A low-calorie diet that can induce rapid weight loss as well as potentially reverse type 2 diabetes has won the backing of health expert Dr Michael Mosley. The man behind the Very Fast 800 diet and the 5:2 diet said the diet, which is being extended across the county by the NHS, can be 'very effective', The Mirror reports.
The diet was first piloted by the NHS in 2020 and it's now being extended across the country, meaning every patient could have access to it by March of next year. The diet can give real hope to people struggling with their weight and keen to tackle their diabetes. Discussing the soup and shake diet, he said: “It’s about 800-900 calories, more calories, more protein, all the right ingredients in it and it seems to be very effective. As for weight loss results, it was compared 'to a standard diet [and] the people who were on the rapid weight loss diet, they lost more weight, about 1.5st , but they also had fewer side effects than the group who went on the standard diet'.
The study on the NHS diet was led by Professor Roy Taylor, of Newcastle University, who said the new five-year follow-up result showed that “the benefits of weight loss could be permanent and lifelong”. He added: “This result is wildly important. We had shown that weight loss is highly effective but the question had always been — how long will that benefit last? This new finding shows that type 2 diabetes is reversible in the long term.
