What is very little fat? Well, for some it's under 40% of the total calories, for others it under 10%. Same for VLCARB diets. There are no strict guidelines as to how many carbs have to be consumed to classify a diet as a VLCARB one.

VLC stands for very low calorie diet... patients on a VLC diet usually only consume about 800 calories a day.

Hi Mija, The other low carb board we're on is the best one to discuss VLCarb. This one goes strictly by nonmodified Atkins.
