Abstract
After the obese women and children succeeded in reducing a certain amount of weight and subcutaneous fat at home, they were no longer advised on the dietary treatment. However, changes in their nutritive and physical conditions were observed afterwards.
Case 1. The thickness of subcutaneous fat did not increase at all. However, the height and the weight have grown more rapid than the “average”.
Case 2. Owing to taking a little more carbohydrate than before, the subcutaneous fat increased a little. The increased was proportion to the increasing heigh and weight.
Case 3. In spite of an increase in caloric intake, an increase of the subcutaneous fat was not observed.
The above results were due to the dietary treatment with high protein, moderate fat and low carbohydrate diets.
