Parameter	Value/Goal
Expected reduction of the initial body weight within 6 months [14]	In patients with: - NAFL—5% to 7% - suspected or biopsy-proven NASH—7% to 10%
The expected rate of weight loss [1,15]	- optimal 0.5–1 kg / week - in severe obesity even > 1.5 kg/week
Caloricity of the diet [16]	- women: 1200–1500 kcal per day - men: 1500–1800 kcal per day or decrease the daily demand by 25% (i.e., by 500–1000 kcal) - diets providing < 500 kcal per day are not recommended
