Kosterstatninger som Modifast har blitt brukt i fedmebehandling i mange år og det finnes i dag en mengde kliniske studier på området. De fleste studier er på produkter av typen VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet), fordi disse produktene har eksistert i lengste tid. De siste årene har det imidlertid blitt publisert flere og flere studier med LCD (Low Calorie Diet) og også studier som sammenligner effekten av forskjeller i energiinnhold og dermed sammenligner VLCD og LCD med hverandre. Her finner du linker til flere av studiene.
