IV. WEIGHT REDUCTION AND EXERCISE
Exercise alone without restriction of calorie intake results in only mild weight reduction. Therefore, both exercise and diet should be used to achieve the best results. A combination of a low-carbohydrate and a low-saturated fat diet gives more sustained weight reduction of than only a low-saturated fat or only a low-carbohydrate diet. This allows a more balanced diet that can be tolerated by most individual over the long-term and has health benefits (see the chapter Diet and Heart Disease).
