Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the effect of short-term very low calorie diet(VLCD)on the weight of hospitalized patients with obesity and the patients' compliance.Methods: From November 2015 to November 2016,30 inpatients with obesity or overweight in Zhongshan Hospital received VLCD intervention with total calorie intake of 800 kcal/d (1 kcal= 4.186 8 kJ)during hospitalization.The body weight before and after VLCD intervention were compared and the tolerance was observed.After discharge,the diet and weight data were followed up for 6 months.Results:After short-term VLCD intervention for(8 ± 3)d,the body weight decreased from(95.93 ± 23.28)kg to(92.86 ± 22.78)kg(P<0.001).No severe adverse effects were observed.The long-term compliance of patients on VLCD was relatively poor.Conclusions:Short-term VLCD can significantly induce the weight loss in patients with obesity,which is well tolerated.While the long-term compliance on VLCD is relatively poor and should be strengthened in the future.
