How weight loss occurs

Weight reduction begins immediately and proceeds as follows (mean data based on several clinical studies):

• Weight loss up to 40 kg

• Mean weight loss 15 kg

• Excess weight loss 40%

• BMI decrease 5 kg/m2

Diet

Patients who adhered to a diet of 1000-1500 kcal/day lost an average of 18 kg; those who did not managed only 9.6 kg. Thus the balloon helps those who help themselves, since the usual weight loss principles still apply: avoid carbohydrates and fats, and reduce general caloric intake.
