The oxygen consumption of three groups of individuals was determined at two 15-day intervals, using two types of apparatus and a special metabolic room. Nine subjects who

received a normal diet served as controls; eight consumed an isoprotein diet that included a 1,500-kcal/day supplement; and 41 obese subjects were restricted to an intake of 220 kcal/day, which consisted of 55 g casein, potassium chloride, vitamins, and water. All experimental diets followed a control period on a normal diet.
Measurements of Vo2 were made with the subjects in the basal state and also when they performed physical activities while fasting. The group (B), who overate, showed an increase in energy expenditure of 12 to 29%, whereas group C (those receiving the restricted diet) had a decrease of 12 to 17%.
Our results on oxygen consumption were compatible with each other and with the weight changes experienced by the subjects studied.
