LipoDIETA® FORTE Programme

Biological significance of the programme

The programme is based on a Very Low-Calorie Diet (VLCD) combined with a carefully planned meal schedule and controlled energy intake. This approach creates the energy deficit required for body weight management while providing nutritional support through functional fibre, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.

Programme structure

The programme lasts 21 days and consists of three consecutive phases:

• Metabolic Phase – 10 days
• Transition Phase – 1–3 days
• Stabilisation Phase – 10 days

This structured approach allows a gradual transition towards a balanced dietary pattern and the development of long-term healthy eating habits.

Nutritional support and satiety

The programme includes functional fibre, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to provide nutritional support during periods of reduced energy intake.

Particular emphasis is placed on glucomannan, a soluble dietary fibre obtained from the konjac root (Amorphophallus konjac). When consumed with water, glucomannan expands in the stomach, helping to promote a feeling of fullness.

Glucomannan contributes to weight loss in the context of an energy-restricted diet when consumed at a daily intake of 3 g in three doses of 1 g each, together with 1–2 glasses of water before meals. This is an authorised health claim approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
