Kulapongse Mahidol University Medicine Seventy obese subjects with a body mass index greater than 25 kg/m2 received a behavioral modification and a daily log self management program for weight loss during an 8-wk treatment period. The program included eating habits, exercise, attitudes, social relationships and nutrition. The results indicated that after 8 wks, cumulative weight loss (mean +/- SEM) was 4.3 +/- 0.4 kgs. The decrease in their body weight was due to the loss of their fat store evidenced by the significant decrease in triceps skinfold thickness. (P < 0.0001) The subjects showed significant decrease in total calories, carbohydrate and fat after 4 wks (P < 0.001, 0.001, and 0.008) through 8 wks (P < 0.007, 0.013 and 0.015). The activities in daily life changed significantly from rest level to light exercise level (P < 0.001).
