  • Title: [Therapy of obesity--indication and effectiveness of calorically-reduced mixed diets].
    Author: Vetter K.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1977 May 15; 32(10):156-60. PubMed ID: 906585.
    Abstract:
    Extreme caloric reduction diets with a daily content of calories of less than one third of the calories calculated with regard to the optimum weight (per kg optimum weight 30 kcal are used) lead principally to the same changes as the initial diet. Only in a daily addition of calories of at least one third of the calories calculated to the optimum weight no further loss of protein takes place, and scarcely appear side-effects. Thus the limit of the riskless reduction for adults is marked, when at the same time all essential constituents of nutrition are given in a sufficient quantity. A diet called metabolic basic diet (protein 20 kcal%, fat 35 kcal%, carbohydrates 45 kcal%, linoleic acid 20% of the total proportion of fats, cholesterol 400 mg a day, purine-N 200 mg a day, dissaccharides 10% of the carbohydrate addition) decreases or normalises risk factors depending on nutrition such as hyperlipoproteinaemia and hyperuricaemia in a constancy of body-weight. In simultaneous caloric reduction the effect on risk factors depending on nutrition is practically identical with that one of a normal diet calorically reduced in the same extent.
