Case study on Obesity: A 19-year-old female college student sought medical help because she was 30 kg overweight. Most of her excess weight was in the form of adipose tissue. A medical history revealed that her diet was extremely poor. She consumed virtually no vegetables, whole grains or legumes. Much of her caloric intake was comprised of simple carbohydrates - crackers, white rice, white bread, pastries, desserts, soft drinks, and beer. However, her dietary fat intake was actually quite moderate.
