Short-term modified fasting

STMF regimen consists of a low-calorie diet aimed at providing 800-1,000 kcal/day, lasting five days and with the following composition: 10% carbohydrates, 15% proteins, 75% lipids. During the days of STMF, patients will be required to write down the foods consumed in a food diary in order to calculate calorie and nutrients intake. The STMF regimen will be administered tentatively on a monthly basis (depending on the therapeutic regimen the patient undergoes) and in any case no more frequently than once every three weeks.
