TL;DR
VLCD (420 kcal or 530 k Cal/d and LCD 880 k cal/d) were equally effective in long term treatment of obesity, and the tendency to less side effects with LCD suggests that such preparations deserve further attention.
Abstract
The results compare favorably with most previous reports of similar design. VLCD (420 kcal or 530 kcal/ d and LCD 880 kcal/d) were equally effective in long term treatment of obesity. The tendency to less side effects with LCD suggests that such preparations deserve further attention.
