The articles have been searched in following databases Medline, Embase, Iran Medex, SID and INP Abstracts.
Results: Due to the method of search, 257 articles were found that 29 of them had the inclusion criteria of present review. In recent decades, interventional studies have assessed the effects of ad libitum versus energy-restricted diets. Also, some studies focoused on macronutrient distributions and its effects on metabolic syndrome and moste of them compared the effects of low carbohydrate versus low fat diets. Furthermore, the effects of some nutrients such as, MUFA, omega-3 fatty acids and calcime as well as the changes of glycemic index of food composition on the regulation of appetite were studied in previous researches.
