Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
individuals between 25 and 60 years of age with obesity in stage 1, 2 or 3. The exclusion criteria were: subjects with metabolic disorders, neurological condition, epilepsy, or pregnancy. The study conformed to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Institutional Medical Research Ethics Committee (Hospital Ajusco Medio, Mexico DF). The protocol will be applied as follows: 10 rTMS or sham sessions during two weeks. Following these two week, patients will receive 8 more sessions on weeks 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 24. Diet will be indicated during all the protocol. The sham group will receive sham rTMS sessions for two weeks, the additional sessions will be performed in the same manner thar in rTMS group.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
rTMS treated group
A Magstim Rapid2 Stimulator equipped with a double 70mm alpha coil P/N 3191-00 (Magstim, Wales, UK) will be used to stimulate the motor cortex. Transcranial magnetic stimulation will be applied through a coil at 10 Hz, a field intensity of 90% of the motor threshold. Stimuli will be provided in 10 trains of 100 pulses, followed by a 28 s rest period.
rTMS
Patients will be stimulated in the dorso lateral frontal cortex. First, the motor threshold will be determined for each patient. To induce currents to the left primary sensory-motor cortex hand area (M1/S1) the coil will be placed over the scalp oriented at 45 ° from the mid-sagittal plane while subjects will sit comfortably on a chair. The coil will be systematically moved in this area until a contraction of the abductor will be identified. Motor evoked potentials (MEPs). MEPs will be registered with surface electrodes on the left hand abductor pollicis muscle using the same Magstim equipment. Then the parameters will be adjusted for the stimulation as was described before.
Diet
This intervention will be applied to both groups, rTMS and sham group, as a combined therapy. The diet is low in carbohydrates, like sugary foods, pasta and bread. Instead, patients eat food with protein, natural fats and vegetables.
sham rTMS group
Sham rTMS will be administered with the coil held in contact with the head but a 180 degrees from scalp, and the power parameter will be reduced by half to avoid stimulation.b
sham rTMS
As well as the rTMS group, the motor threshold of each patient will be determined. They will experience a similar rTMS session with the difference that they not will be stimulated.
