The Very Low Calorie Diet, or VLCD, is a special diet to be undertaken with medical supervision. It offers rapid fat loss over a short timeframe, but can be dangerous for some people. It consists of the consumption of a special powder mixed in with 200-300ml of water to be taken three times a day. The drink, similar to a milkshake, provides approximately 1914Kj (456 Cal) of energy per day when consumed at breakfast, lunch and dinner. It contains all necessary vitamins and minerals, although there is a risk of overdosing on Selenium if a person consumes more than they should (more than three times per day). VLCD's should only be used for dieting when a person's Body mass index exceeds 30. In addition, at least 2 litres of water must be consumed per day and a person should consider using fibre supplements regularly. Without this, the person risks severe constipation.

Dieting is the practice or habit of eating (and drinking) in a regulated fashion with the aim of losing (or, sometimes, gaining) weight, or in some cases to regulate the amounts of certain nutrients. One of the first known person that successfully lost weight by dieting was William Banting in 1863.

Certain religions, including Judaism and Islam, also impose strict restrictions on diet, but these are not usually thought of as "dieting".
