Jagannath Dixit

Jagannath Dixit is an Indian professor who is known for propounding a diet plan to reverse obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Physicians, diabetologists, and experts from the Indian Medical Association have said that the diet is not supported by scientific evidence.

[1][5] The Dixit diet plan, where a person eats two meals a day, was originally conceived by Shrikant Jichkar.

[1][6] However, Dixit's claims have been challenged for lacking scientific validation, and he has been accused of providing potentially harmful advice to those with diabetes.

[1] A 2018 article at the JAMA Internal Medicine journal concluded that the hypothesis of carbohydrate stimulated insulin secretion being the primary cause of common obesity, was difficult to reconcile with available evidence.
