Actually, not so much. None of the clinicians I know has so far been impressed with Virta, particularly after seeing the ~$6,000 AUD per year price tag
Also brings it back to one of the big problems with Virta - they didn't test ketogenic diets! They showed a benefit for $6,000/year subscription services, but do you think there'd still be the same benefit if the ctrl arm had been given a low-fat version of Virta?

I’m sure it would cost a lot of $ generating the educational materials needed to mirror the LCHF approach but would be a brilliant way to do a RCT and collect large amounts of data.

Health Nerd, have you wondered why investors/researchers/clinicians have not rushed in to set up a "low fat" co. with Virta's approach? Given low fat has been standard of care for decades in T2D, this business concept should be a no brainer if there was confidence in approach.
