title: Weight-reducing diets.
abstract: No single diet exists for the treatment of obesity. On the contrary, a variety of diet regimes should be taken in consideration in this disease. Even a normoenergic diet can produce the desired reduction of overweight if it is combined with physical exercise. A moderately reducing diet has a number of advantages over the very low-energic ones, as it leads to the preservation of the lean body mass, especially when the diet is accompanied by a regime of high physical activity. In obesity and other metabolic disorders, it is convenient to include in the diet low-energy foods rich in fiber with a possibly specific hypolipidemic effect, such as soy dishes, pectin-enriched dishes, fruit purees and juices, skimmed milk yogurt, wheat bran bisquits, and others.
