Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to determine whether intermittent energy restriction is as effective as continuous energy restriction in achieving weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes
Interventions

For the purpose of this trial energy will be restricted using a very low calorie approach 500/600kcals/day, for two consecutive days/week - fasting days.

Calorie advice will be provided for the fasting days with both serve suggestion and example meal plans and compliance will be monitored via food diaries at fortnightly visits for the first 3 months and then monthly visits thereafter with the study dietitian.
