The eight (8) week Express Diet VLCD programme by Leader Foods Oy was started with 12 volunteers around mid-October. The volunteers had exact measurements taken regarding body composition and blood count. The measurements were preceded by a minimum of 12 hours of fasting, and they included a total of 19 different measurements. On this page, we will present the results of the indicators used that were most relevant to health. Two of the test subjects started later, and their results are not included in the figures.
Each subject consumed five Express Diet products per day. They composed their diets from savoury soup and porridge products and bars. They drank 2–3 litres of energy-free drinks per day, mostly water, and increased their salt intake as needed if they felt dizzy. Their energy intake was always under 800 kcal per day. The changes in eight weeks are encouraging, even inspiring.
