  • Given the obesogenic environment in which we live, characterized by the abundance of energy-dense, processed and highly convenient foods, and sedentary lifestyle, overweight and obesity have become an epidemic. Concomitant with this increase has been the rise in the number of weight-loss diets. In this Review, Vasanti Malik and Frank Hu discuss the current evidence on the efficacy of low-fat, low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean-style dietary patterns for weight loss, their potential mechanisms of action and clinical utility.

  • The worldwide increase in obesity has been driven by global trade liberalization, economic growth and rapid urbanization. Owing to the scope and complexity of the obesity epidemic, prevention strategies and policies across multiple levels are needed in order to have a measurable effect. Although many putative causes of the obesity epidemic exist, in this Review the effect of globalization on global trends in obesity prevalence is discussed and population-based interventions from several countries are reviewed. The authors make broad policy recommendations for obesity and chronic disease prevention at the global population level.
