Abstract

Weight loss is physiologically beneficial in treating type 2 diabetes. Losing weight occurs when the body has a negative energy balance. However, many people have trouble in restricting their caloric intake. Strategies such as changing portion sizes, energy density and meal frequency can be useful for weight loss. Further research is needed on controlling food intake in the obese/overweight because of the complexity of eating behaviors.
