The effects of caloric restriction and exercise on body composition, resting metabolic rate (RMR), and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) were studied for 16 wk in 26 premenopausal obese women. Exercise (X) versus nonexercise (NX) was crossed with a low-fat, ad libitum-carbohydrate (AL) diet versus a restricted (R) (800 kcal) low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet in a 2x2 factorial design. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the four treatment groups. Body-weight and percent-fat losses were significant (p < 0.05) in all groups but greater in subjects assigned to the R diet (p < 0.05) and/or X (p < 0.10) groups. Exercise increased (p < 0.01) VO2max but neither exercise nor diet influenced fat-free mass or RMR (kcal/m2/h), both of which remained unchanged over time. A program similar to that followed by the ALX group is recommended for long-term weight control and overall health.
