A 300 kcal (1.2 MJ) diet using conventional food.
A 300 kcal (1.25 MJ) diet of conventional food is described, which has been studied under in-patient conditions for four to six weeks. It contained 22.6 g protein, 34 g CHO and 6.9 g fat but not the full RDA of vitamins and minerals since this is impossible without supplementation. Hunger disappeared after the third day. Patients developed ketonuria and hyperuricemia; serum lipids were normalised and hypertension disappeared. The diet offers advantages in that it induces better nutritional knowledge and habits.
