[Weight reduction on a commercially available minimal diet. Results of replacing 1 meal per day].
Over a period of 14 days eight female outpatients ingested a new low-calorie formula diet (Enerday Protein) as a substitute for either dinner or lunch. This formula diet contains fructose as carbohydrate. In the two weeks of treatment an average reduction in weight of 2.7 kg (range: 2.0-3.4 kg) was observed, which means a daily weight loss of 193 g. Gastrointestinal disturbances or metabolic changes were not observed. This form of weight reduction was well accepted by the patients. Living and eating habits were not altered, since only one daily meal was replaced.
