of ad - libitum studies demonstrate that subjects who follow a low - carbohydrate
diet lose more weight during the first 3 — 6 months compared with those who follow balanced
diets.15, 16, 17 One hypothesis is that the use
of energy from proteins in VLCKD is an «expensive»
process for the body and so can lead to a «waste
of calories», and therefore
increased weight loss compared with other «less - expensive»
diets.13, 18, 19 The average human body requires 60 — 65 g

of gluconeogenesis has been confirmed in several studies7 and it has been calculated at ∼ 400 — 600 Kcal / day (due to both endogenous and
food source proteins.18 Despite this, there is no direct experimental evidence to support this intriguing hypothesis; on the contrary, a recent study reported that there were no changes in resting energy expenditure after a VLCKD.20 A simpler, perhaps more likely, explanation for improved weight loss is a possible appetite - suppressant action
