abstract = "Simply put, obesity is a result of energy imbalance. Energy expenditure and energy intake are the two main factors in the energy balance equation. However, considerable disagreement occurs over the importance of energy expenditure in terms of obesity. The role that reduction in physical activity levels plays in stemming the rising obesity epidemic and the effectiveness of exercise in treating obesity are heavily debated topics. However, there is little argument that diet is a central issue in both the increasing prevalence of obesity and in the management of this disease. Although nutrition plays a straightforward role in its development and treatment, changing the diet of an individual is not so straightforward.",
