Obesity
 can be defined as a 
condition of abnormal or excess
fat accumulation in adipose tissue
, to the extent that health
may be impaired.
 
Body Mass Index (
BMI
) which is calculated as [(weight in kg) /
(height in meter square), is considered to be the 
most useful
population-level measure of obesity
, and it is a simple index
to classify underweight, overweight and obesity in adults.
 
Various anthropometric used for assessing obesity and
predicting obesity-related health risks, including 
BMI, waist-
to-hip ratio (WHR), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-
height ratio
.
 
 
 
 
In nutrition aspect, there is specific term used which
is called 
acceptable Macronutrient Distribution
Ranges
 
(
AMDR
) is referred as 
ranges of intake for a
particular energy source that is associated with
reduced risk of chronic disease while providing
intakes of essential nutrients
. An intake outside of
the AMDR carries the potential of increased risk of
chronic diseases and/or insufficient intakes of
essential nutrients according to 
Dietary Guidelines
for Americans 2010
.
 
 
*In addition to the 
AMDR
, both carbohydrate
and protein have an 
RDA (recommended daily
allowance)
.
The RDA for a nutrient represents 
an amount
of a nutrient that will prevent a deficiency
disorder of that individual nutrient 
(e.g.,
carbohydrate, protein) in practically all healthy
people.
 
Nutrition
 
Nutrition aspects for obesity
prevention and treatment
An average woman needs to eat about 
2000
calories per day to maintain, and 
1500
 calories to
lose one pound of weight per week
. Whereas, 
an
average man needs 
2500
 calories to maintain,
and 
2000
 to lose one pound of weight per week
.
The general goals for weight loss and
management are (1) to prevent further weight
gain, (2) to reduce body weight, and (3) to
maintain a lower body weight over the long term.
The guidelines 
recommend targeting a weight-loss goal of
10% over 6 months or a weight loss of about 1–2
pounds/week
.
 
 
Daily intake should be modified to create a daily caloric deficit
of about 
500–1000 kcal
/
day
. A 
500 kcal deficit
/
day equates
to about a 1 pound weight loss
/
week
. In addition, education
should be focused on making healthier food choices and
reducing total fat intake to 
<
30% of total daily calories
.
Achieving caloric deficit can be obtained by a true low-calorie
diet but can also be manageable with accompanying 
physical
activity
.
It is recommended that exercise should
take place 
most days of the week for at
least 30 minutes
/
day
.
Patients should be advised to 
start slow
and gradually increase the duration and
intensity of their exercise
 to achieve the
goal of 30 minutes most days of the
week
.
 
Some popular weight-loss programs
 
Ketogenic diet
Ketogenic diet 
(KD)
 
is defined as a high-fat, low-
carbohydrate diet, with adequate protein content,
which makes the body utilize fat, rather than
carbohydrate, as a preferred energy substrate.
 
Ketogenesis is activated in the 
liver
, which 
breaks
 
fat
into fatty acids and ketone bodies
. These ketone bodies
are able to 
cross the blood–brain barrier and provide
energy to the brain
. Ketones can also be utilized by
other organ systems as an efficient energy source.
The classic therapeutic KD, initially created for the
management of childhood seizures 
due to 
ketone
bodies appears to be neurotransmitter modulation and
antioxidant effect on the brain
.
KD has a 4:1 ratio of fats to combined protein and
carbohydrates. The amount of carbohydrates
permitted varies from 20 to 50 g/day by using low
glycemic index diets.
Adequate water ranging from (3-3.5 liters) is obtained
due to risk of constipation and nephrolithiasis.
 
Mechanisms of weight loss/metabolic modulation with
ketogenic diet
Increase in energy expenditure
-Increased sympathetic activity due to fibroblast
growth factor 21
- Postprandial thermogenesis
Reduction in appetite
• Protein-specific appetite suppression
• Nonspecific appetite suppression
- Reduction in ghrelin
- Increase in glucagon like peptide 1
• Due to excessive water drinking
• Change in lipid metabolism
• Reduction in lipogenesis
• Increase in lipolysis
• Greater metabolic efficiency in fat
consumption
• Islet distress hypothesis
• Reduction in load on both beta and alpha cell
• Reduction in both insulin and glucagon
secretion
Limitations
1- Psychosocial
• Difficult for adherence
• Requires family and social support
 
2- Biomedical
• May not be suitable for all persons, can be associated
with side effects
(Usually transient/self-limiting)
Very long-term effects are not known
• Not a balanced diet
Side effects
The side effects of KD include those directly related to
KD, such as 
transient ketoflu
, and those related to
weight loss in general.
KD involves a brief (days to weeks) period of keto-
adaptation, during which the body transitions from
carbohydrate- to fat-based energy utilization.
 This period may be marked by ‘ketoflu’, with
symptoms such as 
fatigue, lethargy, and headache
.
 
Adverse events, in the short term, include
constipation, low-grade acidosis, hypoglycemia, and
dyslipidemia
.
Constipation can be prevented by adequate fluid intake
while dyslipidemia should prompt a shift to a less KD,
with a lower fat:carbohydrate/protein ratio
.
Dehydration and dyselectrolytemia
 
are other side
effects of KD that must be prevented and managed.
These can result in 
muscle cramps and arrhythmias
.
 
Supplementation with electrolytes,
including magnesium, and
multivitamins, helps minimize these
adverse events.
 
Long-term complications include growth
retardation in children, hyperuricemia,
kidney stones, and osteoporosis
.
Rapid weight loss may be associated with
formation of gallstones: this is possible with
KD as well.
No studies available for long term ketogenic
diet program
.

Obesity is defined by abnormal fat accumulation, often measured by BMI. Nutrition aspects focus on AMDR for macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to reduce chronic disease risks. Understanding nutrient energy values is crucial for designing effective diet programs, including ketogenic diets, for obesity prevention and treatment.
