The original reports of Roy Taylor's protocol were in 2014. Supposedly the chap who wrote his reversal story for the Daily Mail was able to keep diabetes at bay even after eating real food again. Would like to see a current update from him.

These 800 calorie a day of shakes and soups plans have been around for years, Medi-fast, Opti-fast in the US. Where are similar reports of LT success? [I did one under doctor supervision in 1990, results maybe lasted 6 months . ] In the U.K., the same products are made by Cambridge Weight Plan ...what a surprise, the "reasearchers" have interests in that company or the affiliated nutrition counseling service. "The study was funded by Diabetes UK, but the principal investigators have financial ties to the Cambridge Weight Plan and Counterweight. Cambridge manufactures the Frankenfood *** starvation rations. Counterweight supplies the nutrition counseling. Their primary goal is to make money, not come up with the best possible way to get Type 2 diabetes into remission and keep it that way."

*** Skimmed Milk powder, soya flour, soya protein isolate, inulin, then flavors and stabilizers topped off with some Aspertame, the artificial sweetener most controversial.
