A standardized high protein, low carbohydrate diet was tested in 128 overweight patients over a period of 12 months. Under this regimen a weight reduction of up to 38% of the original body weight was observed. Apart from the weight reduction there was a normalization of the blood pressure, blood lipids and blood glucose. The diet is easily adapted to out-patient care and is exceptionally well tolerated by the patients.
