Infants with LPI are usually symptom-free when breastfed because of the low protein concentration in human milk, but develop vomiting and diarrhea after weaning. The patients show failure to thrive, poor appetite, growth retardation, enlarged liver and spleen, prominent osteoporosis and osteopenia, [4] delayed bone age and spontaneous protein aversion.
Specifically restricting consumption of the three branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine is sufficient to promote leanness and improve regulation of blood glucose. [16] A recent randomized-controlled clinical trial showed that protein restriction (PR) improves multiple markers of metabolic health, such as reducing adiposity ...
A low-FODMAP diet consists of the global restriction of all fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs), [7] and is recommended only for a short time. A low-FODMAP diet is recommended for managing patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and can reduce digestive symptoms of IBS, including bloating [ 28 ] and flatulence.
An elimination diet, also known as exclusion diet, is a diagnostic procedure used to identify foods that an individual cannot consume without adverse effects. [1] Adverse effects may be due to food allergy, food intolerance, other physiological mechanisms (such as metabolic or toxins), [2] or a combination of these. Elimination diets typically ...
A low-FODMAP diet is a person's global restriction of consumption of all fermentable carbohydrates , [1] recommended only for a short time. A low-FODMAP diet is recommended for managing patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and can reduce digestive symptoms of IBS including bloating and flatulence .
Leucine ball and stick model spinning. Leucine (symbol Leu or L) [3] is an essential amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.Leucine is an α-amino acid, meaning it contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH 3 + form under biological conditions), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO − form under biological conditions), and a side ...
A low-fiber diet is not a no-fiber diet. A 2015 review article recommends less than 10 grams of fiber per day. [12] Other sources recommend that a patient on a low-fiber diet eat no more than 10–15 grams of fiber per day. [5] Some sources recommend serving sizes that contain no more than 2 grams per serving.

VLCDs can achieve higher short-term weight loss compared to other more modest or gradual calorie restricted diets, and the maintained long-term weight loss is similar or greater. [10] [21] [22] VLCDs were shown to reduce lean body mass. [23] [24] Combining VLCD with other obesity therapies yield more effective results in weight loss. [25]
