Summary

Abdominal obesity, which is affected by a lack of physical activity and excess weight, put people at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This study will compare the effects of two different dietary approaches to weight loss, each combined with exercise, for their effects on cardiovascular factors that are early predictors of future cardiovascular disease in overweight and obese people with excessive weight around their waist. The two diets are a low-carbohydrate versus a more traditional low-fat, low calorie diet.

Weight Loss Diets Plus Exercise

The weight loss diet will be either a low-carbohydrate diet or a low-fat, low-calorie diet. All participants will also be enrolled in a supervised exercise program. The supervised exercise training sessions will take place three times a week for 6 months. Each session will last 1 to 1 ½ hours and will include aerobic exercise and weight training.
