- johnkpaul 8y agoI mean the method used by Virta in this particular link. I am not suggesting that there are not other methods that work. Personally, and anecdotally, I have tried calorie restriction dozens of times since childhood and it has never brought down my A1C.
- sergiosgc 8y agoIt must be high fat. From the linked essay [1], the diet is 30g daily carbohydrates, 1.5g/Kg(body mass) protein. For an 80Kg individual, that results in 150*4=600Kcal. That means almost 2000Kcal in fat to reach the daily caloric intake.
