AB  - Inadequate dietary patterns and sedentary lifestyles are believed to be important 
      factors in predisposing people to obesity. This study analyzed the potential 
      interaction between habitual physical activity and the carbohydrate (CHO)-fat 
      distribution in 2 hypocaloric diets and the impact of such interplay on body 
      composition changes. Forty healthy obese women, 20-50 years old, were randomly 
      assigned to a high- or low-CHO energy-restricted diet, which was low or high in 
      fat, respectively, during 10 weeks. Baseline and final measurements were 
      performed to assess dietary habits, resting metabolic rate, and body composition 
      changes. Physical activity was measured with a triaxial accelerometer and with a 
      questionnaire. There were no significant differences in anthropometric and 
      metabolic variables between both dietary groups at baseline. However, there was a 
      positive correlation between total free-living physical activity and arm muscle 
      preservation after 10 weeks (r = 0.371; p = 0.024). Interestingly, an interaction 
      between macronutrient (CHO-fat distribution) intake and physical activity was 
      found, since less-active subjects with a high-CHO-low-fat diet showed a greater 
      fat loss than those more active with a lower-CHO-high-fat diet, whereas 
      more-active subjects with a high-CHO-low-fat diet showed a smaller fat loss than 
      those receiving a low-CHO-high-fat diet. Physical activity and the macronutrient 
      content of energy-restricted diets, when designed to promote body fat mass 
      reduction, should be considered together to better predict the outcome.
