He continued to lose weight during the treatment, with marked improvement in his comorbidities and no adverse effects. This case demonstrates that prolonged use of a VLCD under close medical supervision is safe and effective in certain obese patients. | Gov't Doc #: | 18341463 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/10563 | Journal: | Medical Journal of Australia | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18341463 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Body Weight Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Diet, Reducing Dyslipidemias.complications Energy Intake Humans Hypertension.complications Male Middle Aged Obesity, Morbid.diet therapy |
