The New Direction Diet is a medically supervised VLCD fasting program meant for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 30. This program is not to be tried at home. VLCD stands for Very Low Calorie Diet. The New Direction Diet is not a kind of diet that is packaged and distributed for general consumer use. It is rather a physician-monitored, modified fasting program offered at specialized health care centers. Liquids that are part of this diet include high-protein, low carbohydrate ingredients in addition to vitamins and mineral supplements.

Though it is a safety net, medical supervision increases the cost of the diet and there is no publicly available information about the program. For each program there are Registered Dieticians, Behaviorists, Exercise Specialist, Medical Director and a number of supporting staff to encourage and help the dieters through their program and help them attain their weight management goals.
