Nutrition evaluation of published weight-reducing diets
J Am Diet Assoc.
1985 Apr.
Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the nutritional adequacy of some of the popular published diet plans. Diet analyses were made using the University of Massachusetts Nutrient Data Bank. Not one of the 11 diets evaluated provided 100% of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances for the 13 vitamins and minerals studied. The nutrients most often below recommended levels were thiamin, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12, calcium, iron, zinc, and magnesium. Vitamin and mineral supplementation may be warranted for individuals following some diet plans.
