Study hypothesis
Obesity treatment - A multi-vitamin supplement attenuates the reduction in energy metabolism-related variables and attenuates the increase in appetite following an energy deficit and a body weight loss
1. Determine the impact of a weight-reducing program on daily energy needs of obese individuals
2. Evaluate the effects of micronutrient supplementation on changes in energy expenditure and feeding behavior that occur in response to weight loss
3. Investigate the relationship between changes in energy expenditure and those in plasma thyroid hormones and organochlorines

Condition
Overweight and obese individuals.

Primary outcome measure
Accentuated body weight and fat mass loss in multivitamin and mineral supplemented group.
Secondary outcome measures
1. Attenuation of the reduction in daily and resting energy expenditure following body weight loss in the multi-vitamin supplemented group
2. Attenuation of the decrease in fat oxidation following body weight loss in the multi-vitamin supplemented group
3. Attenuation of the increase in appetite-related variables and energy intake following energy deficit and body weight loss in the multi-vitamin supplemented group
4. Decrease in energy expenditure following body weight loss, which will be accompanied by an increase in organochlorine plasma concentration
