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. Dixit is a professor at the B J Medical College, Pune, and he was named the brand ambassador for the Government of Maharashtra's anti-obesity campaign in Maharashtra in 2018.

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