However, there is only one obstacle to overcome -- 600KCal/day diet is near starvation diet. Nevertheless, we have other options to lose weight & hence reduce visceral adiposity eg. low carb high fat diet, mediterranean diet.

Type 2 diabetes has long been regarded as a chronic progressive condition, capable of amelioration but not cure. However, type 2 diabetes is clearly reversible following bariatric surgery [1]. Furthermore, Dr Taylor from Newcastle, England demonstrated that after dietary energy restriction, normalization of both beta cell function and hepatic insulin sensitivity was possible [2]. This was associated with decreased pancreatic and liver triglyceride stores. Fasting plasma glucose concentration is determined by the rate of hepatic glucose production, and hepatic insulin sensitivity is inversely proportional to intrahepatic lipid content. This study demonstrates both hepatic fat stores and hepatic glucose production fall in response to dietary restriction (600KCal/d) in type 2 diabetes. It also provides clear evidence that decreasing total pancreatic fat is associated with a return of beta cell function. This means reduction in visceral adiposity (liver & pancreas) is associated with normalization of insulin sensitivity as well as secretion. This is good news for type 2 diabetics because they are no longer sentenced to life-long medication and progressive disease!

American Heart Association (AHA) recommends vegetable oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-6 PUFA) for cooking for the simple reason that it lowers serum cholesterol level. What they ignore is these omega-6 PUFAs oxidize easily and release toxic aldehydes as mentioned in scientific literature.
Recovered data from Minnesota coronary study clearly showed that replacing saturated fats with n-6 PUFAs does not improve death rate from coronary heart disease or all other causes. In fact old data from 1989 article published in the journal Arteriosclerosis also showed no difference between treatment group and control group. It was a randomized controlled clinical trial with over 9000 subjects, so it has enough power to show vegetable oils are not better than saturated fats which has been demonized for decades. If you look at the Kaplan–Meier curve in 1989 paper (Figure-6), you can find there were fewer people alive in treatment group (ie. those taking vegetable oils and have lower cholesterol levels) compared with control group. It is so embarrassing that the paper was published 16 years after completion of the study! It is interesting to find there are recovered data which add to our knowledge and old ideas die hard despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Public health collaboration, a non-profit organization founded by health care professionals with most uptodate information on nutritional science, is making big headlines in the UK. It is calling for change in the out-dated dietary guideline which started in the US and later spreading all over the world, causing global obesity epidemic. Here's the news from the Guardian. You can also go to their website and have a look at their advise and the evidence they provide.
More and more evidence is emerging which points to the notion that there is more than cholesterol in pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (heart disease). The following are documentaries about cholesterol controversy:
