This review discusses dietary strategies that may improve the metabolic profile and body weight regulation in obesity. Recent evidence demonstrated that long-term health effects seem to be more beneficial for low-glycemic index (GI) diets compared to high-protein diets. Still, these results need to be confirmed by other prospective cohort studies and long-term clinical trials, and the discrepancy between these study designs needs to be explored in more detail. Furthermore, the current literature is mixed with regard to the efficacy of increased meal frequency (or snacking) regimens in causing metabolic alterations, particularly in relation to body weight control. In conclusion, a growing body of evidence suggests that dietary strategies with the aim to reduce postprandial insulin response and increase fat oxidation, and that tend to restore metabolic flexibility, have a place in the prevention and treatment of obesity and associated metabolic disorders.

体重调节和肥胖：改善新陈代谢的饮食策略。

这篇评论讨论了饮食策略，可以改善肥胖者的代谢状况和体重调节。最近的证据表明，与高蛋白饮食相比，长期健康影响似乎对低血糖指数（GI）饮食更有益。尽管如此，这些结果仍需要其他前瞻性队列研究和长期临床试验来证实，并且这些研究设计之间的差异还需要更详细地探讨。此外，关于增加进餐频率（或零食）方案在引起代谢改变，特别是与体重控制有关的功效方面，目前的文献是混杂的。总之，越来越多的证据表明，饮食策略旨在减少餐后胰岛素反应并增加脂肪氧化，
