[Weight reduction through physical exercise and diet--how much is enough and is too much possible?]

Presently available literature reveals that a combination of approach has the potential to induce a body weight loss and favor weight maintenance in a reduced-obese state while also normalizing the metabolic profile of these individuals. Further weight loss is thus no longer justified and might be harmful to weight maintenance and health although these individuals could still be diagnosed as obese according to actual classifying criteria for defining obesity.
