Summary
This study looks at how genetics, eating habits, and lifestyle affect obesity risk in adults aged 18 to 70 in Georgia. One hundred participants will be split into two groups: one follows a reduced-portion diet and exercise plan for 8 weeks, while the other serves as a control. Researchers will track changes in calorie intake, BMI, and body composition to see if the program helps prevent obesity.
