#2Nice to see this hitting the mainstream. I vaguely recollect Robert Lustig of "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" [1] fame (or someone following/close to him) making a similar point a few years ago.

#3> he diet was a formula of 825–853 calories per day for 3 to 5 months, followed by the stepped reintroduction of food over two to eight weeks.
That is going to be a brutal 3-5 months. Worth it in the end though.
Also, c'mon, a range of 825-853 calories? Nobody is counting calories that accurately and it would have been better to say "roughly 850 kCal per day".

#4Some great documentaries about this:
- That Sugar Film
- Fed Up (on netflix)
- Sugar Coated (on netflix)

It's tough not only to cut back the calories, but to pack needed nutrients into the few calories remaining. Over several months you could accidentally end up with a severe deficiency of something.

The paper says:
> ... total diet replacement (825–853 kcal/day formula diet for 3–5 months), stepped food reintroduction (2–8 weeks) ...
That sounds to me like participants were given a professionally prepared formula to consume instead of food, so the calorie counts might be that accurate.

#7Type 2 diabetes is a solved problem, but pharmaceutical companies have yet to find a way to make money from a water fast, so no one tells people about it.

they had to drink shakes, basically. that's the only way to get that level of control.
