Traditional weight loss methods include low-calorie diets that allow between 800 to 1,500 calories a day and encourage regular exercise. However, an alternative method that moderately to severely obese people may consider for significant, short-term weight loss is the very low-calorie diet.

Many Low Calorie Diets are commercially prepared formulas of 800 calories or less that replace all usual food intake. Others, such as the well-known grapefruit diet (also called the Hollywood Diet), rely on eating a lot of the same low-calorie food or foods. Very Low Diets are not the same as over-the-counter meal replacements, which are substituted for one or two meals a day.

Are Very Low Diets Safe?

Very Low Diets are not suitable for everyone. Doctors generally recommend them on a case-by-case basis and your doctor will decide whether or not such a diet is appropriate for you. Very Low Diets are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, and are not appropriate for children or adolescents except in specialized treatment programs. Due to the need for other medications for preexisting conditions, as well as the possibility of side effects, these types of diets may not be suitable for people over 50, either.

What Are the Other Concerns?

To be healthy, we need a balance of foods from different food groups. It's quite difficult to get good nutrition in as few as 800 calories (a dietitian would have trouble doing this), especially if one eats the same foods day after day.

Weight Management
It simply means eating more fiber (can cause bad diarrhea / constipation) or burning up more calories than you need. Eating smaller portions and choosing foods that are low in total fat (as fat is a major contributor to calories), and controlling your intake of carbohydrates are essential to maintaining your desired weight.
Establishing a regular exercise routine and supplementing properly with vitamins is equally important.

If you plan to use a low calorie diet, low sugar diet, or any diet, and you suffer from obesity, you definitely should be examined and monitored by a doctor while dieting.
