The effects of starvation, an 800 kcal mixed diet and an 800 kcal ketogenic (low carbohydrate-high fat) diet on the composition of weight lost were determined in each of 6 obese subjects during three 10-day periods. The energy-N balance method was used to quantify the 3 measurable components of weight loss: protein, fat and water. On the 800 kcal ketogenic diet, subjects lost (mean .+-. SE) 466.6 .+-. 51.3 g/day; on the isocaloric mixed diet, which provided carbohydrate and fat in conventional proportions, they lost 277.9 .+-. 32.1 g/day. Composition of weight lost (percentage) during the ketogenic diet was water 61.2, fat 35.0, protein 3.8. During the mixed diet, composition of loss was water 37.1, fat 59.5, protein 3.4. The mean quantity (g/day) of fat lost during the ketogenic diet was 163.4; during the isocaloric mixed diet, it was 166.7. Mean protein loss (g/day) during the ketogenic diet was 17.9; during the mixed diet, it was 9.5. During starvation, mean rate of weight loss was 750.7 .+-. 50.9 g/day, the composition (percentage) being water 60.9, fat 32.4, protein 6.7. Mean protein and fat losses (g/day) during starvation were 50.4 .+-. 4.6 and 243.1 .+-. 14.6, respectively. Urinary excretion of energy yielding materials (largely ketones) increased by 16 and 32 kcal/day during ketogenic and starvation periods, respectively. Basal metabolic rates (kcal/24 h) were unaffected by the nature of the reducing regimen, but decreased in direct proportion to weight loss during the 50-day study period. Thus over a 10-day period, the energy value of body constituents lost during adherence to an 800 kcal diet is minimally affected by wide variations in the proportions of fat and carbohydrate ingested. Discrepancies in rate of weight loss induced by ketogenic vs. nonketogenic isocaloric regimens result almost entirely from differences in water balance. Rate of fat loss is a function of degree of energy deficit.
