Preferred term

very low-calorie diets  

Definition

  • A very low-calorie diet (VLCD) is one that, as its name suggests, is extremely low in calories, lower than is generally required by adult humans. While all diets typically restrict calories, a VLCD is one that restricts patients to 800 or less kilocalories per day. [Source: Encyclopedia of Obesity; Very Low-Calorie Diets]
