VLCKDs are valid and well-recognized strategies in the treatment of severe obesity and the PSMF diet falls into this group of dietary interventions, but its peculiarity is that not only carbohydrates are restricted to less than 30 g/day, but also lipids are limited to less than 20 g/day, making proteins the primary sou...

5. Conclusions
SEVERE OBESITY
Compared to the same PSMF diet given orally, the ProMoFasT is an effective and safe nutritional intervention that has a good compliance rate and results in improvements in body composition with an insulin-lowering effect among subjects with severe obesity. Further RCTs are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.
