INTRODUCTION
Quite often therapy of obesity fails because
the weight lost by the patient, is gained back, no matter what diet he/she has
followed. Patients usually give up because they cannot vary eating and cannot
get a feeling of satiety. Products enriched with a high level of fiber are
widely advisable in prescribing a low-calories diet, but there are no
unequivocal data in medical literature about their efficacy in order to give
patients a feeling of satiety. Pasta is a popular food in Italy, but its use in
low-calories diet is not easy because of practical reasons (package, weight in
grams, smaller portions than the ones usually served in catering and home
cooking); therefore it is often completely banned. Furthermore diet pasta
enriched with fiber. Is often considered a different food owing to different
organoleptic features. This report aims at evaluating weight loss and adherence,
in the short and middle term, in a group of obese patients undergoing
low-calories diets which included pasta enriched with fiber.
