Tip of the Week

Very low carb, low fat, high protein, very low calories diet preventing muslce loss is the Protein Sparing Modified Fast Diet. This diet requires a close clinical supervision.



Energy intake is less than 800 Calories, protein intake is 1.5 to 2.5 grams (0.05 to 0.08 oz) for every kilogram (2.2 lbs) of body weight per day.



Remaining calories come from fats (40%) and carbohydrates - only from vegetable sources (10%) - so even a plan that low in carbohydrate is not a 'no carb diet'.



This diet is supplemented with calcium, potassium, vitamins and micronutrients. 2 litres of water is the minimal liquid daily intake.
