Long-term stabilization of weight after a decrease in weight makes sense together with a fat-reduced, fiber-rich, well-balanced diet. "Little sins" depending on the patient's preferences are acceptable. A complete day-food report is very important.A short-term decrease in weight can be achieved by a diet rich in fat. For a long-term stabilization of weight one should switch to a fat-reduced, well-balanced diet, because there are no data from long-lasting studies of "low-carb diets". During intervention all diets show a positive effect. If, however, the decreased consumption of energy by reduced weight is not considered in the diet, a reincrease in weight will result. The regulation of satiety and hunger is mainly determined by the volume of nutrition and less by nutritive substances. So it is not surprising that food with a lower energy density seems to be advantageous. To achieve long-term positive results, a good patient compliance combined with daily physical activity is important.
Enteral nutrition is an integrated part of the therapy in several diseases and clinical conditions. It is used to improve the clinical course and prognosis of patients with inadequate oral nutritional intake or with malnutrition. In addition, enteral nutrition may act in modulating the metabolic state of patients. Enteral diets are industrially made and have a defined composition and consistency. Enteral nutrition is provided as an oral supplement, via nasogastric/nasointestinal tubes or via gastro- or enterostomy, and requires a well functioning intestinal tract. Enteral nutrition is frequently used supplementary to oral or parenteral nutrition. In most patients standard diets can be used. Diet modifications include the energy density, the relation of carbohydrates, fat and nitrogen source and the content of specific nutrients, i. e. specific amino acids, nucleotides or fatty acids to improve the immune function. These modified diets are used for specific indications which are highlighted in this article.
