Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disorder that requires a life long effort for the successful treatment. Although various pharmacological and surgical treatments have been developed, a dietetic therapy is still the basic therapeutic tool for the management of obesity. This article briefly reviews the basic concepts, efficacy and side effects of the diet modalities that have been recently used in obesity treatment.
