During exercise in overweight subjects, the fasting condition seems more suited to oxidizing fat and maintaining glucose homeostasis than a 3 –hour wait after a standard meal.

The bulk of studies indicate little or no beneficial effects of growth hormone treatment of obesity despite the low serum growth hormone concentrations associated with obesity.

The high Fat diet led to decreased insulin sensitivity accompanied by impaired activity of adiponectin-related enzymes in skeletal muscles but not in the liver.

Very Low Caloric Diets and its Effect on Obesity |
Very low caloric diets (fewer than 800 kcal /d) did not produce greater long-term weight losses than low caloric diet (1000-1500kcal/day)

By waist circumference (action levels)
Minimum circumference between lower rib margin and iliac crest
Action level 1 at 94 cm in men and 80 cm in women
Action level 2 at 102 cm in men and 88 cm in women
• Greater than action level 1 :
individuals are at Increased
health risk, should avoid weight
gain.
• Greater than action level 2 :
are at high health risk ,Should
seek Professional help
