Obesity Energy Balance and Obesity
This article describes the interplay among energy intake, energy expenditure, and body energy stores and illustrates how an understanding of energy balance can help us develop strategies to reduce obesity. First, reducing obesity requires modifying both energy intake and energy expenditure, not simply focusing on either alone. Food restriction alone will not be effective in reducing obesity if ...
متن کاملEnergy balance in obesity
The current epidemic of human obesity implies that whilst energy balance appears to be regulated, the extent of this regulatory process is being overwhelmed in large numbers of the population by environmental changes. Clearly, the shift towards positive energy balance reflects both alterations in energy intake and decreases in physical activity. Increased energy intake and, in particular, the r...
متن کاملObesity, Energy Balance and Its Regulation
This review is based on several studies that have advanced our understanding of overweight and obesity from the point of view of energy balance and its regulation. There is no doubt that physical activity plays a key role in the prevention and therapy of obesity and it is, therefore, an indispensable component of healthy life style. However, a full consensus on an “optimal” physical activity do...

total fast of approximately 150 days! This impressive energy reserve is due both to the high energy content of triglycerides versus polysaccharides, and the fact that triglycerides are stored in essentially anhydrous Harvard Medical School form; polysaccharides such as glycogen are hydrated Boston, Massachusetts 02115 in storage form, decreasing their efficiency as fuel. † Beth Israel Deaconess...
متن کاملPhysical activity, energy balance and obesity.
Obesity appears when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure. The most important variable compound of energy expenditure is physical activity. The global epidemics of obesity seem closely related to reduced physical activity and sedentariness widely increasing nowadays. Once obesity has developed, caloric intake becomes similar to energy expenditure. To lose weight, besides decreasing energy i...
