Abstrakt: Obese patients were treated in an outpatient dietetic unit to which they came to eat a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet totaling 1,000 calories. Close physician-patient and dietician-patient relationships built up in this setting, which included a strong element of group therapy as well, provided essential emotional support. The results were encouraging: 73% of the first 62 patients lost 20 lb (9.1 kg) or more.
