ABSTRACT

Obesity is a 21st century epidemic, and its relentless spreading is due to many different reasons. One reason is that the classic treatment, a long term hypocaloric diet, is unsuited to the spirit of our century that always aims for fast results. Dieters want instant weight loss and do not want to lose “only” a few pounds each week. Finding a fast and safe weight loss treatment could be the crucial battle to win in the war on obesity.
