The 1:1 Diet model has been extensively researched for its effectiveness in type-2 diabetes. Weight loss can put Type 2 Diabetes into remission for at least two years. The latest findings from DiRECT. See here

Recently, the DiRECT study, based upon our products and Plan, has changed the way doctors and dietitians all around the world think about the reversal of diabetes. You can read the full research here

In fact, based upon the incredible results of DiRECT, the NHS and Diabetes UK have commissioned a pilot Type 2 diabetes remmission study of 5000 patients.

Intensive life-style intervention, including initial weight-loss with TDR, delivered 60% diabetes remission in people with early type 2 diabetes mellitus from the Middle East and North Africa studied in Qatar

Doctor Referral of Overweight People to Low Energy total diet replacement

Treatment (DROPLET): pragmatic randomised controlled trial

Compared with regular weight loss support from a practice nurse, a programme of

weekly behavioural support and total diet replacement providing 810 kcal/day seems

to be tolerable, and leads to substantially greater weight loss and greater improvements

in the risk of cardiometabolic disease

Osteoarthritis of the Knee Clinical Care Standard

Osteoarthritis is not an inevitable part of ageing and is not necessarily progressive. Symptoms can be

managed and the level of physical activity improved by modifying risk factors such as excessive weight.

Being overweight doubles a person’s risk of developing knee osteoarthritis, while obesity increases

the risk more than fourfold.
