Comparison of a low-energy diet and a very low-energy diet in sedentary obese individuals: a pragmatic randomized controlled trial†
P. Christensen, H. Bliddal, B. F. Riecke, A. R. Leeds, A. Astrup, R. Christensen
First published: 21 March 2011
Participants were randomized to VLED (420–554 kcal d−1) or LED (810 kcal d−1) for 8 weeks, followed by a fixed-energy (1200 kcal d−1) diet with food and two diet products daily for 8 weeks. In all, 192 participants were randomized.
Mean weight losses in VLED and LED groups were 11.4 kg (standard error: 0.5) and 10.7 kg (0.5) at week 8 and 13.3 kg (0.7) and 12.2 kg (0.6) at week 16.
Significant adverse effects comparing VLED and LED, were bad breath: 34 (35%) vs. 21 (22%), intolerance to cold: 39 (41%) vs. 17 (18%) and flatulence: 43 (45%) vs. 28 (29%) for VLED and LED at 8 weeks (P < 0.05 in all cases). The VLED and LED regimens were equally successful in inducing weight loss.
