In this study a group of 8 men consumed 420 kcal/day for 10 days with a daily energy expenditure of 3,200 kcal/day.

It was observed that limited calories without mineral supplementation appeared to be more beneficial than complete starvation. Some major abnormalities were still present including fairly large body water losses during days 1 and 2, significant protein losses, and abnormal EEG patterns in all men in group I during calorie restriction. The EEG's from all of these men were normal within 2 days on return to a normal dietary intake.

Mineral supplementation with limited carbohydrate calories had beneficial effects in reducing water deficits and hypohydration, preventing ketosis, and preventing abnormal electroencephalogram tracings.
