[Modified fasting in the therapy of obesity. A comparison of total fasting and low-calorie diets of various protein contents].
Modified fasting represents a successful therapy for obesity without severe side effects. The daily energy-substitution (1000-1700 kJ) consists of 30-50 g high quality protein, 20-40 g carbohydrates and small amounts of fat. The mean weight loss is 11-14 kg in a four-week treatment period. In contrast to total fasting the weight loss achieved with modified fasting consisted in a percentage of 79% adipose tissue and a minimal protein loss of 3%. The nitrogen equilibrium was reached after one to three weeks thus avoiding the risks of greater protein losses.
