Five severely obese subjects were treatedfor up to 1 yr, under metabolic study, with chemically defined diets of 60–360 kcal containing appropriate L-amino acids (or protein), carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Acceptance of the diets was excellent, and the patients rarely complained of hunger. The optimum daily formulation contained 15 g amino acids and 30–45 g carbohydrate which achieved nitrogen balance, only moderate ketosis, normal serum electrolytes and uric acid, and a mean weight loss of 4.1 Ib (1.8 kg)/week. Clinical abnormalities observed were alopecia, symptomless normochromic anemia, postural hypotension, and hypercholesterolemia. All these findings reverted to normal subsequent to resuming a normal diet. Low-calorie, chemically defined diets of approximately 60–360 kcal offer an acceptable and safer form of weight reduction than complete starvation in the severe and refractory obese patient.
