Abstract

VLCD (dieta de muito baixa caloria) são definidas como dietas de baixa caloria que fornecem entre 450 a 800 kcal por dia e, dada a relevância do VLCD no contexto da obesidade, este estudo realizou uma análise comparativa de pacientes que usaram a dieta VLCD (Dietkcal®) antes e após um período de dois meses, sobre seus parâmetros antropométricos. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, quantitativo, com utilização do método de pesquisa documental. Os resultados mostraram que uma perda de peso média correspondente a 7,4 kg pode ser observada no período de dois meses, apresentando significância estatística entre os pesos inicial e final. Em relação aos valores obtidos a partir do percentual de gordura, observamos uma perda total estatisticamente significante de 4,53% no período de dois meses. Em relação à diferença apresentada na circunferência da cintura dos pacientes, observou-se diminuição de 2,5 cm no total de dois meses, o que é estatisticamente significativo. O presente estudo contribui trazendo resultados em que uma dieta VLCD pode resultar em perda acentuada de peso, podendo favorecer o perfil metabólico dos pacientes, como a diminuição do percentual de gordura corporal e circunferência da cintura, uma melhora na saúde e qualidade de vida desses pacientes também pode ser destacada.
