“…The percent decrease in total cholesterol was positively correlated with the percent of weight loss in some [75], but not all studies [70]. Similarly, triglyceride levels decrease between 14% and 58% in the short-term [71][72][73]76,77]. HDL cholesterol responses are not that uniform: several studies documented a decrease of HDL cholesterol levels [70,73,[76][77][78][79] when lipid profiles were measured within the first 2 to 8 weeks of VLCDs.…”

Poor diet and physical inactivity, the two major contributors to the development of overweight and obesity, have recently been identified as the second most common actual cause of death in the United States. With the increasing awareness of the strong link between obesity and chronic disease, in particular cardiovascular disease, a myriad of diets have surfaced and many of them claim weight loss depends more on the macronutrient composition of the diet than the number of calories consumed. Long-term outcome data, particularly cardiovascular outcome data, on these diets are sparse. This article summarizes previous and recent reports of popular and aggressive diets, such as low-carbohydrate diets, low-fat diets, and very low-calorie diets, addressing their effects on weight loss and focusing on their effects on lipids and lipoproteins.

“…VLCD may be indicated for those patients with a BMI > 30 kg/m 2 (Pi-Sunyer, 1992;World Health Organization, 1998), and in those patients with a BMI of 27-30 kg/m 2 who have medical conditions that might respond to rapid weight loss (National Task Force on the Prevention and Treatment of Obesity, 1993). These diets can acutely reduce hypertension (Eliahou et al 1992) and significantly improve lipid profiles (Parenti et al 1992;Byson et al 1996). Improvement in insulin sensitivity and enhanced glucose metabolism have also been documented (Eliahou et al 1992).…”

Numerous dietary treatments that purport to promote something unique for stimulating weight loss have been published. These treatments include fad diets, diets formulated by various commercial slimming clubs, very-low-energy diets (VLCD) and conventional diets. Fad diets may possibly reduce some weight short-term; however, there is no scientific basis to their long-term use. Commercial slimming clubs may be suitable for some individuals but they need to be properly assessed professionally. There are specific guidelines for the use of VLCD, which are only appropriate for short-term use. There is scientific evidence to suggest that conventional diets can produce both short- and long-term weight loss. A successful weight-loss programme depends on a multidisciplinary team approach. Management strategies should be devised for addressing issues such as goals, monitoring, follow-up, relapse and evaluation. Initial assessments should include medical, laboratory and anthropometric data, fitness level and dietary and behavioural attitudes. These results will form the basis of the treatment plan. Frequent visits to the clinic are fundamental in promoting continuing weight loss during the long-term maintenance stage of treatment. The visits should be made worthwhile for the patient. Realistic and attainable goals for diet, exercise and behaviour modification should be made. The diet should have a novel approach and be tailored to the needs of the patient. It should be adequate nutritionally, low in energy and fat. The overall aim should be to promote lifelong changes in lifestyle, improvement in quality of life and health risks.
