Obese should exercise not 'diet'
BBC NEWS | Health | Obese should exercise not 'diet': "Women who are clinically obese don't need to diet to improve their health, say UK researchers.
A programme which encouraged women not to diet but to take part in exercise classes found significant improvements in health and mental well-being.
The women in the study were also taught about good eating habits, such as how to cook, and received social support.
After a year, the women had only lost a little weight but were significantly fitter and happier with themselves.
The team from Leeds Metropolitan University and the University of Hull who are presenting the results at the UK Society of Behavioural Medicine Scientific Meeting in Cambridge said a healthy lifestyle could improve health risks regardless of weight."
