Johannesburg for the degree of Master of Science. / In this dissertation I examine the effects of a long term (one month) and a short term (two
week) very low energy diet of 3347 kl/d (800 kcal/d) on body weight, body composition,
cardiac function, nutritional and hormonal status, psychological variables and sleep and
temperature variables. In both investigations, data were collected 28 days apart to control
