| In the opening message of this thread xMenace has cited a research by Duke U. which said one of the two diabetic patient control groups in the research was given a 500 calories/day diet (pls correct me if I'm wrong.) I wanted to express that it sounded quite surprising to me that such a low level of energy taking would be adopted as one of the alternative treatment regiments on a body of diabetics. To see what people in this forum would think of such a low number, and if there would be people who would know more abt such a diet and its merits if any. |
