Description
Summary:The objective of this work was the design and application of a program of treatment of obesity that would achieve weight loss but also would mantain that loss one year later. The program was applied to two groups (ten subjects each), over 11 weekly sessions. the weight of the 16 people who finished the study was lowered by 5,9 kilos. the waist line fell by 5,8 cm. and the thickeness of fat chunks went down by 14,3mm. The program proved not only not to cause depression feelings to experimental subjects but to actually diminish such symptoms. The follow-up data at 1 month, 6 months and a year is presented. El objetivo de este trabajo fue el diseño y aplicación de un programa de tratamiento de la obesidad que lograra que los sujetos no sólo perdieran peso, sino que lo mantuvieran estable al menos un ano después. El programa se aplicó a dos grupos de 10 sujetos durante 11 sesiones semanales. El peso de los 16 sujetos que terminaron el programa se redujo en una media de 5,9 kilogramos, el perímetro de la cintura, en 5,8 centímetros, y el grosor el pellizco de grasa, en 14,3 milímetros. El programa mostró que no inducía depresión en los sujetos, sino que por el contrario ésta se redujo. Se analizan los datos de seguimiento al mes, a los seis meses y al año
