EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT CALORIE RESTRICTION DIETS IN OBESE WOMEN

The aim of this study was to compare the short‐term effects of two different calorie restriction (CR) diets on anthropometric and biochemical parameters in obese women. Participants were 30 women, BMI 37.3±4.4kg/m2, and 39±6.3 years of age. This study was conducted in 3 phases with a follow‐up at one month from the end of phase 3. In Phases 1 and 3 participants were on an ad libitum diet at home for 2 days. In Phase 2, participants were on a 1000 kcal/d CR diet for 3 days and were randomized to either the experimental group (EG n=15), which received a high‐fiber diet or the control group (CG n=15), which received the conventional diet. Anthropometric and biochemical data were collected at the beginning and end of each phase for a total of 5 measurements including the 1month follow up period. There was no significant reduction within groups in body weight (EG, p=0.92; CG, p=0.95) and waist circumference (WC: EG, p=0.97; CG, p=0.98). No significant between groups difference in weight (p=0.92) or WC (p=0.85) were observed. A significant reduction in fasting glucose (p=0.01) was observed within the EG during CR. There was also a reduction of triglycerides (p=0.03) in EG compared to CG. The results of this short‐term study indicate that a high‐fiber diet results in a greater decrease in fasting glucose and triglycerides, compared to a conventional diet.
