State of the science: VLED (Very Low Energy Diet) for obesity
This 2006 review article examines the efficacy and considerations of Very Low Energy Diets (VLEDs) in obesity treatment. VLEDs provide between 450 and 800 kcal/day, delivering complete nutritional requirements. They induce rapid weight loss, typically 1.5–2.5 kg/week, through mechanisms like mild ketosis, which suppresses hunger and preserves lean body mass.
