Abstract

 Background and Objective: One of the consequences of
overweight and obesity is dyslipidemia. Hence, this research is conducted to
compare the effectiveness of behavior-nutritional and Beck cognitive therapy
combing to dietary-physical activity prescriptions on declining overweight, and
modifying lipid profile among overweight and obese females.    Materials and Methods: Applying semi experimental design and using convenient sampling method, 32 volunteer females
with BMI≥25 eligible to exclude- include criteria were selected and randomly
assigned into two experimental groups (each groups includes 16 subjects). Prior
to, after, and 3 months later than each intervention, all participants' weight,
height, and lipid profile were measured.   Results: Data analysis with 16th version of SPSS and
applying with repeated measures analysis of variances method revealed that both
interventions could significantly decrease the weight, TG and TC (P < 0.05), and HDL
were increased significantly (P < 0.05), too. But, there were no significant
differences between two interventions (0.05
