"Of the total of 10 controls, who have switched diet, 2 persons after
a weight reduction of 20 kg each are free of all signs of diabetes
after 3 and 2 years respectively i.e. HbA1c below 5.0%, fasting blood
glucose below 5.0 mmol/l and free of any blood glucose lowering
medication."


Most of the positive effects on weight were in the first 6 months. The
average weight overall after that point was weight gain. See figure 1.
Individual changes in bodyweight in 16 obese patients with type 2
diabetes. The average is misleading however.

"Bodyweight

The mean reduction in bodyweight over the first six months was 11.3 +/- 4
kg (controls: 1.8 +/- 3.8 kg). Ten patients (62%) but none of the controls
lost more than 10% of bodyweight.

Mean bodyweight increased from 6 to 22 months by 2.7 +/- 4.3 kg. The total
mean increase from month 6 to 44 has been 3.9 +/- 5.6 kg. Five of the
patients have maintained bodyweight from 6 to 44 months or reduced it
further (see figure 1). However, five patients have increased mean
bodyweight by 10 kg. In 7 patients (43%) the bodyweight is still 10% or
more below their original weight."


This is in contrast to simply eating less, down to the right amount,
either by choice or by surgery:

May you and other dear neighbors, friends, and brethren have a
blessedly wonderful 2008th year since the birth of our LORD Jesus
Christ as our Messiah, the Son of Man ...

.... by being hungrier:

Hunger is wonderful ! ! !

It's how we know what GOD desires, which is all that is good.

Yes, hunger is our knowledge of good versus evil that Adam and Eve
paid for with their and our immortal lives.

"Blessed are you who hunger NOW...

.... for you will be satisfied." -- LORD Jesus Christ (Luke 6:21)

Amen.

Here is a Spirit-guided exegesis of Luke 6:21 given in hopes of
promoting much greater understanding:

Be hungrier, which is healthier.

Marana tha

Prayerfully in the awesome name of our Messiah, LORD Jesus Christ,

Andrew
