About this study
Official title: Investigating the Effects of Negative Calorie Diet Compared With Low-calorie Diet Under Exercise Condition on Weight Loss and Lipid Profile in Overweight/Obese Middle-aged and Older Men
The present study aimed to determine the effects of negative-calorie diet supplemented with exercise, on weight loss and lipid profile, and to compare its efficiency with low-calorie diet with exercise among elderly adult men with abnormal weight gain.
Read the detailed description
Background and Aim: Negative-calorie diet is among the popular dieting guides for weight loss; however, there is still little knowledge about this method. The present study aimed to determine the effects of negative-calorie diet supplemented with exercise, on weight loss and lipid profile, and to compare its efficiency with low-calorie diet with exercise among elderly adult men with abnormal weight gain.
Materials and Methods: Participants included sedentary men (age 45-75 years) with overweight or obesity (n=37). They were randomly divided into 2 groups including negative calorie diet with exercise, and low-calorie diet with exercise. Of all 37 participants, 30 persons completed the treatment. The weight assessment parameters including change in weight and body composition, blood sample tests were performed pre- and three month post-intervention.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Study group I | Experimental | Study group I (18 participants) received the NCD with exercise (NCDsport). This groups had 5% caloric restriction from their maintenance energy requirements and 10% increase in energy expenditure through structured regular exercise. Receives: Dietary Supplement: NCDsport |
| Study group II | Experimental | Study group II (19 participants) received the low-calorie diet with exercise (LCDsport). This groups had 5% caloric restriction from their maintenance energy requirements and 10% increase in energy expenditure through structured regular exercise. Receives: Dietary Supplement: LCDsport |
