Caution and warning contribution to the scheme to 1000 calories per day:
If the low-calorie diet is heavy or repeated, the drastic reduction of energy intake results in a decreased metabolic rate (reduction of energy used for digestion of food and decreased thermoregulation). This reduction in basal metabolic rate may be 15%. The body protects itself by using fewer calories to operate, implying that when the patient resume a regular diet, he will gain more weight by reducing energetic spending. The menu provides 1000 calories, 60g protein, 145g l carbohydrate, 21g fat.
