VERY LOW CALORIE DIETS
Abstract
Very low calorie diets, or more precisely, commercially prepared diets, which provide less than 600Kcals a day, are estimated to have been used by 7 million people throughout the world. In the UK alone approximately half a million people are thought to have tried such a diet. However despite a recent government report, on the use of VLCDs in obesity, which concludes that there is no real evidence to suggest that VLCDs cause any serious damage to health or life, the use of them remains controversial.
