Cambridge Weight Loss Plan for Spain

Can a crash diet help to beat type 2 diabetes?

Four obese volunteers with serious weight-related health issues, including type 2 diabetes, go on a total diet replacement programme for the BBC's "The Big Crash Diet Experiment" and give up real food, surviving on a very low calorie soups-and-shakes diet. The programme features department researchers Professor Susan Jebb and Professor Paul Aveyard, who provide expert advice on crash diets throughout the duration of the experiment.
