This is not a great diet plan. Liquids aren’t as filling as solids, can be consumed quickly, and digested faster. Plus, this plan leaves you dependent on shake makers/brands instead of managing your own diet.
Also, diets don’t work, stop calling it that. Diets are temporary things. A real T2 mitigation plan will require permanent lifestyle and dietary changes, including some sort of exercise regimen and reducing carbohydrates intake and increasing fiber intake to promote fullness and help reduce cravings between meals.
Lastly, I wish these articles would stop suggesting you can reverse (as in cure) type 2 diabetes. There is no cure currently, only lifelong management and control.
