Belly fat reduced by 11 percent in just one week.
A very low calorie or ‘crash’ diet can lead to losing 5 percent of body weight in just one week, research finds.
The diet can also reduce belly fat by 11 percent across the first week.
People in the study went on a crash diet, involving eating just 600 to 800 calories per day.
This is around one-third, or less, of the recommended daily intake of calories.
To achieve this calorie intake, people often replace normal meals with shakes, soups and bars that are specially formulated.
In addition, crash diets involve drinking a lot of water, milk and possibly taking fibre supplements.
However, people with heart problems should be wary of rapid weight loss as it can reduce heart function initially, the researchers found.
