There has been no recommendation to alter the formulation of VLCDs that has been passed as law in the EU. The EU laws cover all EU members including the UK and Ireland.
The discussions within the political powers has over the years revolved around whether:
- VLCDs should include MORE Linoleic Acid and Linolenic Acid (Omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids)
- VLCDs should include MORE protein
- VLCDs should contain more calories
Our blog post on the Lipotrim Ireland website discusses these issues in detail.
The list above is just that: a list of possible talking points. VLCDs in their current form have a much valued position in the prevention and treatment of obesity, with an excellent safety record spanning decades.
The scare stories will unfortunately most likely carry on, but rest assured the Lipotrim programme, delivered by healthcare professionals throughout the UK and Ireland, is still delivering safe and significant clinical outcomes every day.
