This paper presents selected clinically tested dietary interventions which when combined with a healthy lifestyle, support a healthy body weight and composition. Obesity is not a new problem – Paleolithic artists depicted obese figurines over 25,000 years ago! Obesity is however now described as a global epidemic, and overweight and obese individuals (Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 and above) are at increased risk for chronic physical ailments.
