Multidisciplinary treatment of obesity with a protein-sparing modified fast: Results in 668 outpatients
Aviva Palgi, J Read et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1985Cited by: 15References: 26
Six hundred sixty-eight obese outpatients, 71 per cent (+/- 34) in excess of ideal weight, were enrolled in a multidisciplinary weight control program. The major components of the program included nutrition, education, behavior modification, and exercise. Rapid weight loss was accomplished using a very low calorie (less than 800 kcal) ketogenic diet. Patients adhered to the protein sparing modified fast (PSMF) for 17 +/- 12 weeks and averaged 9 +…
MMPI Profiles of Obese Men and Women
Open AccessAnne S Pomerantz, Isaac Greenberg et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1977

On the masculinity-femininity scale, female patients scored significantly lower than a normal population, while the male patients had a marginally significant higher mean score. Scores in the respective directions for men and women indicat…
