         Die Adipositas ist ein wachsendes Problem der Industrieländer. Neben der Vererbung
            sind von Seiten der Umwelt der Überfluss an verarbeiteten Lebensmitteln und der Mangel
            an körperlicher Bewegung die wichtigsten kausalen Faktoren. Die Bedeutung des Fett-
            und Kohlenhydratverzehrs für die Therapie der Adipositas wird heftig diskutiert. Bei
            isoenergetischer Ernährung werden Fett und Kohlenhydrate mit gleicher Effizienz zur
            Deckung des Energiebedarfs verwendet. Bei Ad-libitum-Verzehr wird mit fettreicher
            Nahrung passiv mehr Energie aufgenommen, weil die Menschen dazu neigen, unabhängig
            von der Zusammensetzung der Nahrung immer die gleiche Menge aufzunehmen. Die Atkins-Diät
            nimmt für sich in Anspruch, wirksam Gewicht abzubauen, obwohl dabei fettreiche Nahrung
            unbeschränkt aufgenommen werden darf. Selbst wenn fettreiche Diäten in Studien über
            drei bis sechs Monate zu einem höheren Gewichtsverlust führen, zeigen doch Studien
            über 12 Monate, dass die fettreichen Diäten nicht überlegen sind. Im Gegensatz zu
            fettreichen haben fettmoderate Diäten gezeigt, dass sie über mehr als ein Jahr moderate
            Gewichtsverluste bewirken und das Risiko für Diabetes und wahrscheinlich auch für
            Herzinfarkt und bestimmte Krebsarten reduzieren.
         
         
         
         Abstract
         
         Obesity is an increasing problem in the industrialized countries. Besides genetic
            predisposition from the environment increasing abundance of refined food and insufficient
            physical activity are the most important causal factors. There is much debate on the
            importance of fat and carbohydrate intake in the therapy of obesity. Presuming isoenergetic
            diets carbohydrates and fat calories are used with the same efficiency to cover the
            energy needs. With high fat, energy dense ad libitum diets more calories are passively
            ingested then with high carbohydrate diets since people tend to consume a similar
            bulk of food regardless of its composition.The Atkins diet claims to be effective
            at producing weight loss despite ad libitum consumption of high fat food. Even if
            high fat diets produce higher weight losses over three to six months, the 12 months
            studies indicate that the high fat diets may be no better in the longer term. By contrast,
            moderate-fat diets have been shown to promote moderate weight loss over more than
            one year and to reduce the risk of diabetes and propably also of coronary heart disease
            and certain cancers.
