Energy intake and expenditure balance is nowadays accepted to be a determinant factor on body composition. Thus, solid and liquid adequate consumption have enormous importance to prevent overweight and obesity. In addition, the dietotherapy is considered the obesity treatment cornerstone, being critical the adequacy of water and non-caloric liquid consumptions to the subject characteristics, physical activity and kind of treatment to be followed. In this paper the mechanisms involved in food and dipsic behaviours and orosensitive gratification, and the neural circuits involved are reviewed. Emphasis is given to the idea that diet importance is not restricted to its direct action on the incomes/outcomes balance but on the modulation that its compounds exert on intake regulation, gene expression, thermogenesis, lipogenesis/lipolysis, insulin resistance/sensitivity, and microbiota characteristics. Some central aspects of diet in childhood and adult obesity prevention and treatment are reviewed. The different types of treatments are commented under quantitative and qualitative points of view, together with the practical objective to define slimming rhythm and therapeutic final body weight. The paper ends pointing out to difficulties for maintain weight losses and the importance to design and follow an individual corrector treatment based on adequate and accurate diets to be consumed for a very long life period.
