In 56 women and 15 men the efficiency of two weeks diet and physical activity therapy was evaluated. The following parameters before and after the therapy were measured: BM, BMI, LBM, WHR and the fat mass (FATkg and FAT%). The subjects were divided into four groups depending on sex: (group of men and group of women), and value of BMI (group of persons with BMI lower than 27 and group of persons with BMI higher than 27).
