Abstract in brief

Very low-calorie diets (VLCDs) providing about 800 kcal per day have been used since the 1970s for rapid weight loss, but their long-term effectiveness compared to traditional low-calorie diets (LCDs) has been debated.
A meta-analysis of six randomized trials showed that VLCDs lead to greater short-term weight loss than LCDs, but both diets resulted in similar long-term weight losses after at least one year, with comparable dropout rates.
In practice, alternatives like liquid meal replacements in the US and less intensive supervision in Europe are considered effective and more cost-efficient options for long-term weight management, rather than strict VLCDs.]
