| OBJECTIVES: To compare importance of rate of initial weight loss for long
term outcome in obese patients and to compare efficacy of two different
weight maintenance programmes. DESIGN: Subjects were randomised to either
rapid or slow initial weight loss. Completing patients were re-randomised to
one year weight maintenance programme of ad lib diet or fixed energy intake
diet. Patients were followed up one year later. SETTING: University research
department in Copenhagen, Denmark. SUBJECTS: 43 (41 women) obese s
(body mass index 27-40) who were otherwise healthy living in or around
Copenhagen. INTERVENTIONS: 8 weeks of low energy diet (2 MJ/day) or 17 weeks
of conventional diet (5 MJ/day), both supported by an anorectic compound
(ephedrine 20 mg and caffeine 200 mg thrice daily); one year weight
maintenance programme of ad lib, low fat, high carbohydrate diet or fixed
energy intake diet ( 5 kg at follow up.
RESULTS: Mean initial weight loss was 12.6 kg (95% confidence inte. |
