Inappropriate lifestyle with excess energy in the diet and lack of physical activity is the cause of a positive energy balance. Obesity occurs most commonly as a result of a positive energy balance. Obesity is characterized by increase of BMI (body mass index) and percentage of body fat. Dietary therapy is the basis of a complex therapy for people with overweight and obesity. In a clinically healthy 45-year-old man there was realized a six year non-pharmacological overweight therapy. When the patient was behaving according to dietary and exercise recommendations a decrease in body weight on average 3.2 kg per month, decrease in body fat, decrease in waist and hip circumference were observed. When the patient was violating the recommendations and subsequent positive energy balance was recorded, the opposite trend was observed. During six years of follow-up there was repeatedly noted a cyclic relationship between energy balance and body composition. According to his biochemical profile the monitored person belongs to the group with paradox obesity. With the initial BMI 56.2 kg/m2 and throughout the whole monitoring, the blood lipid profile and blood glucose levels were within the physiological range. Long-term successful weight loss or obesity reduction requires a lifelong lifestyle change.
