| Abstract;It has been shown consistently that obesity may impact important aspects of lifestyle related disease such as diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis, ischemic heart disease and others. Weight loss was associated with improvements in health-related quality of life. The low-fat, low-energy and combination diets all resulted in decreases in BMI, percent body fat and waist circumference. In addition, physical exercise has also been shown to be the most effective way for weight reduction. This indicates that any of these counseling strategies could be effective for improving anthropometric predictors of health risks associated with overweight status. Therefore, regular dietary counseling consisted of regular meetings with a registered dietitian, individualized diets and exercise recommendations is strongly recommended for health promotion.
