[Experiences with a diet-training program in patients with obesity associated diseases including follow-up]

In 158 inpatients (61 m., 97 f.) with obesity-associated diseases were performed a diet-training-programme for about four weeks. We used a PSMF (protein sparing modified fasting) as a 350 kcal diabetic mixed diet, adequate to 4 carbohydrate units (40g carbohydrate, 30g protein, 5g fat) with weekly tea-vegetable-days, additionally wheat brain. The training programme was adapted individually. Reexamination were made by questionnaires and diabetic control cards concerning the body weight. The favourable influence of blood pressure and metabolism was registered. The diet schedule consist natural foodstuffs, fibers, minerals and vitamins. It can be varied, is very effective especially in combination with exercise. The middle term results are rather good more for women than men. Our diet-training-programme can be recommended for outpatients as well as for cures.
