dc.description.abstractChildhood obesity is an important public health rapidly increasing worldwide. Unhealthy eating and over consumption of snacks high in fat, calories or added sugars are considered as major contributors of childhood obesity. The present study aimed at developing fibre rich snacks and evaluating their effect on selected obese boys. Forty obese boys in the age group of 10-12 years were divided into 4 groups with 10 members in each group. Group I, II and III were treated as experimental groups and group IV as control group. Three high fibre snacks were evaluated through changes in height, weight and Body Mass Index after a period of 3 months. A maximum increase in height was observed among Group I & II after the study period. Group II supplemented with steamed snack 2 showed a highly significant reduction in weight ( I .6kg),Group I (0.9kg) & Group III (1.1kg) reduction in weight. The BMI of all the experimental groups were found to decrease from 0.9 to 1.14 with a higher reduction seen among group II. The findings revealed that consumption of high fibre snacks consisting of varagu, horse gram and curry leaves was found to be very effective in weight reduction of obese boys.en_US
