摘要：Argument. The new reality, the one we are experiencing since the beginning of 2020, has brought significant changes in the social plane and implicitly in the complex system represented by the human body. Limitation of travel has brought in the life of most people a significant change in lifestyle, much different from daily activities, prior to imposing travel restrictions, but similar to sedentary lifestyle, a life style without regular physical activity and is characterized by a large volume of time in front of the computer with the tablet or phone, watching TV throughout the day, without regular physical exercises. A number of experiments have shown that the layer of abdominal fat is associated with a variety of diseases, the higher it is, the higher the risk of type II diabetes, hypertension and coronary heart disease. Everyone knows that increased carbohydrate intake leads to increased fat deposits. Thus two British nutritionists wrote in the British Journal of Nutrition in 1963, whether you agree with this statement or not, the facts remain - low-carbohydrate diets are helpful in lowering the fat layer. Methods. The present study was conducted on a sample of 12 adult male subjects between the ages of 41 and 59, with values of the Body Mass Index (The Jackson-Pollock method for evaluating body fat percentage requires three skinfold measurements. measurement sites have the chest, abdomen and thigh) between 21.6% and 28.2%, average of 26.1%, values collected at the initial test. The group was divided into three working samples, two of them having a nutritional program aimed at weight control, the third group was given a placebo treatment. All three groups in the experiment followed a simple exercise program aimed at maintaining a minimum level of muscle tone. Conclusion. At the end of the period and after the intermediate and final tests, statistically significant results were revealed between the two groups of experiment and the control group, but somewhat surprisingly, and between the two groups in which the food intake underwent qualitative changes, which encourages us to continue and expand the present research.
