ABSTRACT

However, it is important to help patients

recognize the need for long-term commitment

to healthy food and activity changes and to

follow an appropriate management

programme post-VLCD.

This is often an area of concern to patients

and in those who eat out regularly it is an

important area to consider. The practical

suggestions in Table 7.14 and Appendix 1

may be helpful in restaurants/cafés and with

‘take-away’ foods.
