Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of laser acupuncture and high protein low carbohydrate diet on the treatment of obesity and lowering of endothelial markers.
Detailed Description:
Sixty females above 20 years of age with a body mass index (BMI) of over 30 kg/m2 will be divided into three groups (20 in each): two experimental groups (laser; high protein low carbohydrate diet) and control. Each subject will receive the treatment relevant to their group, in addition to obtaining 3 days dietary recalls and measurements including BMI, serum insulin and endothelial markers. Laser and control group will receive 24 activated or sham laser acupuncture treatments. High protein low carbohydrate group will be instructed to take a tailored high protein/low carbohydrate diet.
