Diet Counselling For Reducing
The Risks Of Obesity
2
• An abnormal or excessive accumulation of body fat
• If a person’s body weight is at least 20 % higher than
it should be considered obese
• A very serious health problem rather than a problem of
appearance
• Great number of mortality rate right after
smoking(cancer)
• Constitutes a great threat to health may lead to
diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and metabolic
syndrome etc.
Obesity
3
Difference between an overweight and an obese
patient?
• A significant difference
• An adult who has a BMI of 25–29.9 kg/m2 is said
to be overweight
• While an adult with a BMI in excess of 30 kg/m2
is said to be obese
4
• <18.5 - underweight
• 18.5 to <25.0 - healthy weight
• 25.0 to <30.0 - overweight
• 30.0 to <40.0 - obesity
 Basic metabolic rate is low
 Unbalanced consumption of food and poor lifestyle
 High carbohydrates and high sugar intake
 High dietary fat intake
Prefer fried, nuts, snacks and fast foods
Prefer carbonated drinks and alcohols
 Overslept
 Lack of vitamin B, Calcium and Fiber
 Unstable blood sugar(the main reason is uncertain meal
and uncertain quality
 Lack of exercise

• Supplements for weight loss are numerous
• People generally prefer to seek a shortcut to weight loss
• The demand for such supplements, which often claim to give fast
results is huge
• Coupled with the fact that many of these products can be marketed
as food supplements with relatively little regulatory controls, the
market is rapidly expanding
• The universally acknowledged way to lose weight is a calorie
controlled diet with increased physical activity
• Diet alone is useful, but for long-term maintenance of body weight,
exercise is critical
• Prevent the cyclical effect of rapid weight gain after a period of
dieting
8
• Self-monitoring and other behavioral interventions can also
enhance weight loss
 Conventional pharmaceutical treatments such as the lipase
inhibitor orlistat are also available for weight loss, but only on
prescription.
 Orlistat works by blocking fat absorption but has unpleasant and
common side-effects of faecal incontinence and flatulence
9
Treatments Possible To Reduce Obesity
Nutraceuticals :
• A growing sector of the supplements market for weight
loss, and there are a wide variety of products
• Formulated into capsules or tablets, or even incorporated
into foods or convenience style foods such as snack bars.
• Several nutraceutical currently being marketed as aids to
weight loss have been the subject of scientific and medical
research
• The major examples are L-carnitine and acetyl -L
carnitine, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), green tea and
conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
Dietary Treatment of Obesity Weight Management
• The primary determinant of weight loss is
energy deficit.
• Short term weight loss by energy reduction in diets
of varied macronutrient composition.
• Obesity is a chronic and relapsing disease
• It is the long-term efficacy of these dietary
strategies in maintaining lowered weight that is of
fundamental importance
11
Types of Dietary Treatment
There are several dietary strategies available both in a clinical and
commercial setting.
These diets vary greatly in the degree of
• Caloric restriction
• Relative amounts of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, fat)
• Medical supervision
• Scientific basis
• Cost
12
• These diets can be broadly divided into:
• Low-calorie diets (3400 kJ (800 kcal) /day typically
3400–6300 kJ (800–1500 kcal) /day
• Very low-calorie diets (<3400 kJ (800 kcal) /day
Types of Dietary Treatment……………………………..
13
Low-calorie diets
• Traditionally, low-calorie diets that incorporate various methods
for restricting food intake have been recommended for weight
management.
• Such treatment requires a period of supervision for at least 6
months
• Weight loss causes a decrease in abdominal fat, the adipose tissue
deposition that is associated with the highest disease risk.
14
• Have played a central role in the dietary management of overweight
and obesity.
• Generally, these strategies aim to provide a macronutrient
composition of 25–35% energy from fat, 45–60% from total
carbohydrate, and 15–20% from protein, thereby moving
individuals towards national dietary guidelines
• A 10% reduction of dietary fat leads to a 3–4-kg weight loss in
normal overweight subjects and 5–6-kg weight loss in the obese
• A low-fat diet is equally as effective in achieving long-term
weight loss in overweight and obese subjects as alternative
dietary strategies
15
• Low-fat high carbohydrate diets may have a role in weight
maintenance.
• Combined with physical activity and behavioral strategies, the
maintenance of modest weight loss (3–4 kg) with a marked
reduction in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus over a 4-
year study period
1616
• The glycemic index (GI) is a dietary concept originally developed
for the therapy of diabetes, which has recently become popular
despite scant evidence of its effectiveness in weight management
• The GI is a property that describes the effect of carbohydrate from a
given food on postprandial blood glucose. It is measured by
comparing the blood glucose response of the test food with that of a
reference food (usually white bread)
• Low-GI foods are more slowly absorbed leading to an attenuated
and prolonged insulin and metabolic response to foods; it is
suggested that more moderate blood glucose and metabolic response
may sustain satiety and energy balance to a greater extent than larger
metabolic shifts would
.
17
 High-protein diets have popularized as a means of rapid weight loss
despite the lack of objective evidence in long-term efficacy and
safety
 Typically, these diets offer wide latitude in protein food choices, and
are restrictive in other food choices (mainly carbohydrate)
 Animal protein rather than plant protein is advocated leading to a
higher intake of total fat – mainly saturated fat and cholesterol
 Many of the popular high-protein diets promote protein intake of
28–64% of dietary energy, which exceeds established requirement
of 10–15%, and severely limit carbohydrate dietary energy to 3–
10%
.
18
o A recent popular high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, provides on
average 27% energy from protein, 5% energy from carbohydrates,
and 68% energy from fat
o The diet results in the avoidance of important staple foods, such as
bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, and cereals, as well as foods high in
sugars
o Consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy
products, foods associated with lowering blood pressure and
protecting against cancer and heart disease, are all limited
o The initial weight loss in high-protein diets is high due to fluid
and glycogen loss related to low carbohydrate intake
o Overall caloric restriction that is encouraged by structured eating
plans, restricted range of foods allowed, and limited tolerance of
high-protein foods
19
 Often promotes a misconception about weight loss by suggesting
that it is not related to total energy intake but is due to exclusion of
certain foods
 The amount of weight loss is principally associated with decreased
caloric intake rather than reduced carbohydrate content
 Possible negative effects include increased risks of cardiovascular
disease, renal disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and compromised
vitamin and mineral status.
20
 Dietary strategy determines the daily energy requirement for weight
loss by calculating energy expenditure, adjusting for physical
activity, and subtracting an energy deficit to induce weight loss –
usually 2100–2520 kJ (500–600 kcal) for 0.05 kg weight loss
 As a result the prescribed diet will often be in excess of 3400–6300
kJ (800–1500 kcal)
 The popularity of this approach relates to the findings of improved
compliance in those advised on a 2520 kJ (600 kcal) deficit diet
compared to a traditional fixed energy intake of 5040 kJ (1200
kcal)/day
21
 Meal replacements are another category of calorie-controlled diets
 include nutritional fortified shakes, snack bars, and low-calorie
frozen meals
 An entire meal or snack is replaced with a portion controlled
prepackaged meal or drink that provides approximately 840–1260 kJ
(200–300 kcal)
 Meal replacements are designed to be eaten with additions of
conventional foods that supply dietary fiber, other nutrients,
additional calories, and water
.
22
 Most weight loss programs that use meal replacements recommend
replacing two meals and one snack a day to lose weight and then
replacing one meal per day to maintain weight loss
 This strategy generally provides 5040–6729 kJ (1200–1600 kcal)
/day and the regular meal should meet the recommendations of a
healthy diet
 It is an effective weight-loss strategy both in the short and long term
in a clinical trial setting.
 There is no information about the efficacy outside a clinical trial
where meal replacement products need to be purchased, and are
frequently discontinued at an early stage
2
3
 Very low-calorie diets are formula foods; they are designed to
provide larger and more rapid weight loss than the standard low
calorie diets
 They are commonly given in liquid form to completely replace usual
food and snack intake providing in the region of 1890–3400 kJ
(450–800 kcal) day1
 To reduce the potential risks from loss of lean body tissue, VLCDs
are enriched in protein of high biologic value and also includes the
full complement of recommended daily allowance for vitamins,
minerals, electrolytes, and fatty acids
 Diets providing such low-energy intakes are often associated with a
feeling of fatigue, constipation, nausea, and diarrhea
24
 Most serious complication associated with VLCD is the
development of symptomatic cholelithiasis associated with the rapid
weight loss (1–2 kg week1)
 Weight regain is common with the reintroduction of food
 In the long term, VLCDs are no more effective than more modest
dietary restriction.
25
Purpose of action Policy Action
Organize eating Control number of eating events Restrict eating to recognized meal and
snack periods with perhaps two
snacks only for children and three
snacks for adolescents
Eat meals, as a family whenever
possible, at table rather than in
front of the television
Where possible, eat meals prepared at
home and served on a plate rather
than ready-to-eat, microwaved
individual meals
Be aware of the nutrient content
of meals
Meals prepared at home
Where possible, prepare meals at home
so that the cook at least is aware of
the nutritional makeup of the meal
Precooked/ready to eat meals Read the nutritional information given on
the packet and observe not only the
content/100 g but also the weight
(and thus nutrient content) of the food
bought and fed to each member of
the family
26
Reduce the energy content of the
food intake
Portion sizes Portion sizes can be reduced—using
smaller plates may make this less
obvious; avoid second helpings
Change the form of food used to
low-energy density versions
Use ‘low-calorie’margarines, spreads,
mayonnaise, yoghurts, soups, baked
beans, etc.
Use semi-skimmed milk, sugar-free fruit
squashes, etc.
Grill and bake and boil without added fat
rather than frying foods
Avoid added fats and sugars Do not add fats to vegetables when
preparing them for table
Avoid (or reduce) added sugar to stewed
fruit dishes; sweeteners dissolved in
boiled water can be used instead if
necessary
Reduce energy content of drinks Fruit juices, etc Eat whole fruit rather than fruit
juices (which are usually many
fruits compressed and often with
added sugar)
Use ‘low-calorie’fruit squashes
Preferably drink water
Avoid added sugar
Tea, coffee, etc. Try to avoid sweeteners so as to
accustom child to less sweet tastes
Increase satiety Increase intake of foods that require
chewing, that take time to eat, or
that increase satiety
Increase vegetable, salad, and
fruit intake
Increase whole-meal cereal intake.
