Tens of thousands of obese Britons are prescribed soups and shake diets to help them slim down – after the trial, people dropped two or more stones in three months.
Last night, the NHS announced that it would expand its diet program to 11 more regions of the UK after it was found that patients could help improve type 2 diabetes.
Overweight patients will be referred by their GP and given free low-calorie shakes and soup on the NHS for three months.
The radical plan is part of a plan for medical services to tackle diabetes, and the NHS will cost £ 10 billion annually.

More than 4 million people in the UK have diabetes, 90% of whom have type 2 diabetes, which is associated with obesity.
For decades, this condition has been considered an incurable disease, but current research shows that weight loss may permanently relieve diabetes.
As part of the NHS trial, 2,000 patients with type 2 diabetes received a diet and lost an average of two or more stones after three months.
Studies show that about half of people who lose weight with this diet can achieve remission from diabetes within a year.
People on a diet get support from clinicians and coaches, including virtual one-on-one, online help, and groups.
After eating, they are instructed to reintroduce healthy and nutritious foods.

The diet is open to people aged 18-65 years who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the last 6 years and have an obesity index of over 27.
Nadeem Akhtar, 49, from Sheffield, has lost more than 3rd place since starting the program and has remitted type 2 diabetes.
He said: “It’s the best I’ve ever done for myself and my family.”
