Diets for weight reduction: Mechanisms of action and physiological effects
1978
Van Itallie, T.B.
Extract: Weight reduction diets can be divided into regimens that overtly restrict calories and those that do not actually specify calorie reduction but, rather, manipulate the diet or the circumstances of eating so as to induce a spontaneous decrease in energy intake. Low-calorie diets can be "balanced" providing a more or less conventional distribution of fat, carbohydrate and protein, or "unbalanced". Diets that do not specify calorie reduction but are designed to decrease spontaneous energy intake may utilize any of a number of approaches. The physiological responses to calorie restriction, as affected by the composition of the diet as well as its energy content, are described.
