Very Low-calorie Diets
A very low-calorie diet (VLCD) is a doctor-supervised diet that typically uses commercially prepared formulas to promote rapid weight loss in patients who are obese. These formulas, usually liquid shakes or bars, replace all food intake for several weeks or months. VLCD formulas need to contain appropriate levels of vitamins and micronutrients to ensure that patients meet their nutritional requirements. Some physicians also prescribe VLCDs made up almost entirely of lean protein foods, such as fish and chicken. People on a VLCD consume about 800 calories per day or less.
