Hello friends...

Very-low-energy diets supplying between 1670 and 3350KJ/d have been beneficial in short-term treatments causing a weight loss of 300-500 g/d.

Weight loss produced by either low-carbohydrate or low-fat moderately energy-restricted diets ranges from 0·5 to 1·0 kg/week, while diets with high or moderately high protein content have also been applied in weight-reducing programmes by inducing losses of 0·2-0·4 kg/week.

Other factors that determine weight loss by dieting are sex, age, initial body weight, race, genetics, regional fat deposition, etc.
