Long-term outcome of a self-help very-low-calorie-diet weight-loss program

Howard Foundation Research, Cambridge, UK.

This paper presents 90-wk data on five seriously overweight subjects originally brought together for 1-2 wk in simple residential accommodation to share the experience of beginning a program of very- low-calorie dieting. All subjects have remained well below their starting weight; four of the five subjects have continued to lose weight (weight losses 33.7-66.8 kg), now weighing less than at the end of the first 26 wk previously reported (1). It is proposed that this self-help group model, incorporating a very-low-calorie diet, is valuable for the long-term management of obesity.
