Notes: NICE guidance states that anyone choosing to
follow a diet of less than 600kcals should do so under clinical
supervision. Your Consultant will explain the process for this.
*CWP = Cambridge Weight Plan
Guidance to Consultants - Ideally your customer should
move down the Steps to their chosen programme, spending at least one
week to each Step. If they wish to follow a VLCD programme (Step1 below
800kcal), they may do so for a maximum of 12 weeks at a time. After the
12th week the customer should move up to 810kcal (Step2), for at least 1
week. If they still have weight to lose and their BMI is suitable, they
may resume a VLCD programme for a further 12 weeks. |
