The way people eat have changed rapidly across the globe and is one of the reasons for developing coronary artery disease (CAD).

This single case experimental study shows that regression in atheroma may be achieved by replacing the normal diet with a low calories diet used in the reverse diet kit. The patient complained of angina on minor exertion. Post admission the patient underwent a computed tomography angiogram (CT-angiogram) to measure the plaque volumes of left anterior descending artery (LAD), left circumflex artery (LXC) and right coronary artery (RCA) of the heart. The patient was monitored for 12 weeks with the administration of reverse diet as a treatment method. The change in weight, blood pressure and heart rate was monitored every week. After 12 weeks, CT-angiogram was performed again. There was a 7.3 kg decrease in weight along with normalization of blood pressure (BP). A 92.8 mm
