Body composition، Blood variables، and Weight Watcher (WW)الملخص
The purpose of this study is to determine how a short-term diet program altered body shape and blood variables in obese men in Garmian-Kurdistan (Iraq). A total of 40 obese men were the sample of this investigation. The diet program is the sole focus of weight loss. Body fat, Basel metabolic rate (BMR), and body mass index (BMI) were all calculated to assess body composition. Blood variables comprising total cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), systolic and diastolic respiratory rate were assessed prior to and following the short-term weight loss. Weight, body fat, BMR, and BMI all reduced considerably in the post-test (t = 3.978 P value 0.07, t = 4.895 P value 0.02, t = 3.202 P value 0.003, and t = 1.182 P value 0.02, respectively). The last test revealed a significant reduction in the levels of total cholesterol (t = 9.711 P value 0.002), TG (t = 6.579 P value 0.06), systolic (t = 1.099 P value 0.01), and diastolic (t = 1.297 P value 0.01) blood pressure. As the detrimental effects of total cholesterol and TG on blood pressure gradually increase patient’s health, conclusion during a month, both low-carbohydrate and low-fat dietary regimens shown more prominent weight loss results compared to people who did not experience any dietary mediation. In spite of the fact that there were slight varieties in weight loss among individuals, these disparities are unlikely to hold significant importance for people looking for to shed pounds. Consequently, this finding fortifies the recommendation of endorsing a diet program to patients pointing to achieve weight loss. It is anticipated that recommendations for a diet program without health risks would be necessary.
