Body composition and weight maintenance with a very-low-calorie diet for the treatment of moderate obesity

RO Kamrath, LJ Plummer, CN Sadur and RL Weinstein
Contra Costa Endocrine Associates, Walnut Creek, CA.

We report body composition in 11 moderately obese patients (mean BMI less than 30) treated for 8 wk with a 2530-kJ/d (605-Kcal) diet. Mean weight loss was 9.4 kg. Fat-free mass (FFM) loss of 2.3 kg was 23% of total weight loss and essentially equal to loss of total body water (2.5 L). Body composition was measured by the Futrex-5000 near-infrared technique. We conclude there is no excess loss of FFM in moderately obese patients treated with MNP 70/70, a 70-g protein, 70-g carbohydrate dietary supplement for 8 wk.
