Do you think a shorter-term calorie restricted diet is okay for patients with type 2 diabetes? I think you referred to a very-low-carb diet, which has been shown to reverse diabetes, or a very-low-calorie diet. I think in one of the studies, the subjects were on a very-low-calorie diet for eight weeks.
