Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate whether a diet supplemented with two prebiotic fibres induces greater changes in body weight compared to placebo during 12 weeks of energy restriction in an obese/overweight population. The hypothesis is that the fiber-containing dietary supplement will: 1) Induce greater changes in body weight compared to the placebo group 2) change the gut microbiota composition 3) improve glucose homeostasis 4) decrease serum concentration of triglycerides, total and LDL cholesterol The hypothesis is that the effect of the intervention on weight loss will be partly mediated by the diet-induced changes in the gut microbiota composition.
The aim of the present study is to test whether late eating dinner could affect the amount of weight loss in healthy obese women in a weight-loss program.
The deleterious effects of obesity on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metabolic risk factors (dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance) are well-documented. Recent evidence also links obesity to cognitive decline and dementia. Dietary patterns are central to the development and maintenance of obesity and certain dietary patterns may contribute to the onset and progression of cognitive decline. With the rapid aging of the US population and the high prevalence of obesity among older adults, innovative lifestyle strategies to prevent cognitive decline among ethnically diverse obese older adults are critically needed.
The purpose of the current study is comparing the effect of almond and pistachio, as the two common types of nuts, consumption on healthy obese and overweight female who following a hypocaloric diet for 12 weeks. The secondary aim of the current study is to evaluate of these two type of nuts on other cardiometabolic risk factors.
the aim of present study is to compare the specific effects moderate consumption of lean fish on weight loss of healthy obese and overweight female adults, while participants follow energy-restricted diets also to investigate the effects of this intervention on carbohydrate and lipid profiles, as cardiometabolic risk factors.
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effect of sleep duration on weight loss of obese and overweight adult when they are in a weight loss plan (NovinDiet Protocol). The investigators aim is to compare the effects of short term sleep duration with normal sleep duration with respect to body weight (and abdominal adiposity).
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of diet type selection based on response to a Carbohydrate Intolerance Questionnaire (CIQ) and genetic screening on success to a weight loss and exercise program.
This pragmatic randomized clinical trial will assess the efficacy, cost, and sustainability of a culturally tailored weight-loss program targeting obese Hispanic women with pre-diabetes or T2D. The intervention will be integrated into patient care at a Federally Qualified Health Center serving over 30,000 low-income patients, and will be delivered by trained clinic staff, with minimal support from research staff. After the effectiveness clinical trial, two cohorts of clinic patients will receive the intervention in a sustainability test.
Patients who are involved in a clinical protocol driven 12 week medical weight loss intervention will be randomized to receive either a placebo or 600 mg of an ashwagandha root extract. The study endpoints are primarily the patients self-reported perception of life stress and sleep quality. The working hypothesis of this study is that the addition of aschwagandha to .the medical weight loss program will improve the self-reported perception of life stress and sleep quality
This research study is being done to determine whether taking a dietary supplement called capsinoids, derived from sweet peppers, can activate brown fat that is already present or even generate new brown fat in individuals with excess weight. Previous studies have suggested that chronic consumption of capsinoids may be able to generate new brown fat in thin individuals. Capsinoids may also have a small positive effect on metabolism (increased calorie-burning) and fat loss. The knowledge gained in this study may eventually lead to more treatment options for people with excess weight.
