  • A 25% lean mass loss as a result of VLEDs and LEDs is commonly reported.

    “A 25% lean mass loss as a result of VLEDs and LEDs is commonly reported [32–34].”

    From International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand: diets for body weight reduction (2026) · cites this paper as [33]

    In ‘An Introduction to Very-Low-Energy Diets,’ the review says that approximately 25% of total weight loss with LEDs is lean body mass; Table 1 also lists 25% lean body mass loss for VLEDs as a share of weight lost. The citing sentence omits that denominator and could be read as a 25% reduction in lean mass itself, which the source does not establish. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Serious adverse effects of VLEDs, including sudden death precipitated by cardiac arrhythmias, were more prevalent in earlier research.

    “Serious adverse effects of VLEDs (including sudden death precipitated by cardiac arrhythmias) were more prevalent in earlier research [33,46].”

    From International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand: diets for body weight reduction (2026) · cites this paper as [33]

  • Weight regain after VLED cessation is a concern, ranging from 2-14 kg in post-intervention periods ranging from 8 days to 5 years.

    “weight regain after VLED cessation is a concern, ranging from 2–14 kg in post-intervention periods ranging from 8 days to 5 years [33].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
