How does it work?

Using VLCDs in place of meals restricts your daily kilojoule intake to a level lower than your body requires which leads to your body using stored fat for energy**. As your body converts fat to energy, you will reduce your fat stores and lose weight.

The Dr. MacLeod’s VLCD products are nutritionally balanced with high quality protein, vitamins and minerals so that as your body uses fat, you are provided with all your nutritional requirements to maintain muscle mass and health.

What is the program?

Your doctor or supervising health care professional will design a program that is suitable for you. Typically this can include an intensive phase of a total diet replacement followed by a partial diet replacement program.

Alternatively, your supervising health care professional can prescribe the Dr. MacLeod’s program as per the Dr. MacLeod’s Program Manual.
