Is a very-low-calorie diet safe?
Modern very-low-calorie diet programmes have been available in
the UK since 1984 (more information on early
VLCDs).
The UK’s National Institute for Health and
Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends very-low-calorie diets for
suitable obese patients.
Studies by the
Committee on Medical Aspects of Health and Nutrition (COMA) in the
UK, and by the European Union, prove very-low-calorie diets can
help people lose weight safely.
Hospital-based obesity centres throughout
Europe use very-low-calorie diets to help obese people lose weight
more rapidly than on a conventional diet.
