THE SUCCESS DIET - THE MOST RESEARCHED DIET IN THE WORLD

Extensive research on nutritionally complete very low calorie diets show their safety and efficiency in assisting weight loss and weight maintenance.

Many studies have been carried out into the effects of very low calorie diets. The most sophisticated of these is a multi-center clinical trial examining body composition and metabolic studies with very low calorie diet (VLCD).

The trial is presented in a book entitled "The Swansea Trial"edited by Dr Stephen Kreitzman and Dr Alan Howard, published in 1993 by Smith-Gordon.

Listed here are some of the thirteen studies included in the"The Swansea Trial":

The effects of VLCD on body composition.
Changes in total body potassium, nitrogen and glycogen with nutritional depletion and repletion.
The measurement of total body potassium and estimation of body fat.
Nitrogen economy due to ketosis demonstration by [15N] glycine flux.
Total energy expenditure by the doubly-labeled water method-theory and methodology.
Dependence of weight loss during VLCD on total energy expenditure, rather than on the resting metabolic rate which is associated with fat free mass.
