Very-low-calorie diets (VLCD) from LighterLife
A very-low-calorie diet (VLCD) is a
nutritionally complete formula food preparation that provides
between 400 and 800 kcal per day, and produces noticeable
differences in weight much quicker than many conventional
diets.
A VLCD also is likely improve your health
right from the start. By making a complete break from your old
lifestyle, you will find it far easier to introduce new, healthier
habits – both for eating and daily activities – starting from a
clean slate.
What you can expect from the LighterLife VLCD
During the weight-loss stage of the
LighterLife VLCD Programme, you will consume four of our Foodpacks (soups, shakes and bars) per day, which
average 530 kcal in total. Our specific VLCD formulation meets
standards set by regulatory bodies and provides at least 100% of
the recommended daily allowances (RDAs) for vitamins, minerals and
trace elements, as well as enough protein, carbohydrates and
essential fats.
By taking in fewer kilocalories than you need, your body is
eventually forced to use up stored fat to make up this energy
deficit – meaning that you are literally living off your own fat!
However, since each pound of fat contains 3,500 kcal, you’re not
likely to run out of energy. A VLCD is a very rapid and efficient
way of getting your body into this fat-burning mode.
How safe are VLCDs?
VLCD programmes have
been available in the UK since 1984 and are recognised by the
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence as a safe and
proven treatment for obesity. More than 20 million people in over
30 different countries around the world have now followed a VLCD
safely and effectively.
