A Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) is a modified keto diet where the total calorie intake per day would be around 800Kcal. The carbohydrates are under 30g a day. The fats are kept at 10g a day and the protein requirements of the body is met at a recommended rate of 1g/kg as per the body weight. The diet even satisfies the daily requirements for vitamins, minerals, and trace elements.
On this very low-calorie diet, your metabolism will switch to a state of controlled ketosis, obliging your body to draw its energy from body’s fat reserves while preserving muscle mass. This gives you the benefits of fast weight loss, no hunger and feeling energised. You will only follow the VLCKD during the Fast Loss Stage of the method.
