In this study we aimed to determine whether very low calorie diets (VLCDs) can be an effective means of weight reduction in obese patients in general practice. Twenty-six patients showed a mean reduction in weight of 15 kg and in body mass index (BMI) of 6.1% within a 12-month period. VLCDs with regular monitoring and feedback were shown to be effective in reducing and maintaining weight loss for up to a year with no reported serious side effects.
在本研究中,我们旨在确定极低热量饮食(VLCDs)是否能成为全科医疗中肥胖患者减轻体重的有效方法。26名患者在12个月内体重平均减轻了15千克,体重指数(BMI)下降了6.1%。结果显示,通过定期监测和反馈的极低热量饮食,在长达一年的时间里能有效减轻并维持体重减轻,且未报告有严重副作用。
