Aim of the study is to investigate the effect of a 12-week supplementation of Santa Herba Extract on body weight in overweight and obese subjects. Additionally appetite related marker as well as marker of white adipose tissue browning will be evaluated.
The study will assess the effect of attending to stomach-cues of hunger and fullness on body weight and any additional benefit provided by open-label placebo.
Surgical management of Morbid Obesity is increasingly frequent. A low-calorie diet is recommended with the main goal of reducing intrahepatic fat infiltration, fat tissue and making easier the surgery. Information the use pharmacological interventions during the preoperative period in this population are rare.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is the main treatment for heart attacks and other types of CVD. It is based on science, it saves money, and it is widely-available. Each session (of which there are a few each week for 3 months) combines supervised exercise and instruction. The goals are to improve overall health and reduce cardiovascular risk in individuals with established CVD. CR produces almost no weight loss (WL); if a person has excess weight while in CR (the majority of participants have overweight or obesity), losing weight could really reduce their risk of having another heart attack. The best treatment available for weight loss, in-person behavioral weight loss interventions (BWLs), produce enough WL that they improve health and disease risk/severity. However, in-person BWLs are too much work to be carried out in CR. A previous fully automated 3-month online program, Rx Weight Loss (RxWL), produced good WL in many different settings. Dr. Goldstein aims to tailor RxWL for use in CR. The study will use the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) to test innovative eHealth/mHealth intervention components that might work well for people when combined with RxWL. The study will include 160 patients (each randomized to receive 0-4 of the components). The components are: (a) a Fitbit with a goal-setting program; (b) a bite counting device; (c) a Web-based virtual reality (VR) intervention ; and (d) virtual meetings. By the 6-month follow-up, the investigators will know if any of those 4 components helped people lose more weight. If a component produced at least 2% WL, it will be studied further by being included in a new intervention to be tested in the next study.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether intermittent use of continuous glucose monitor will facilitate weight loss in individuals who are overweight/obese with prediabetes.
This study is designed as an observational trial. The objective of this study is to follow-up with participants 3 years after completion of an 18-month comprehensive behavioral weight loss intervention. Outcomes of interest include change in body weight, body composition, physical activity, energy intake, and sleep. In addition, investigators will explore the associations between current physical activity, sleep, and energy intake patterns and body weight regulation.
A Roux-en-Y gastric bypass will be performed in all the cases. Patients will be randomized according the limb lengths: - Group 1: Alimentary limb (AL) 150cm and biliopancreatic limb (BPL) 100cm - Group 2: AL 100cm and BPL 150cm Weight loss will be evaluated 1 year after surgery
The investigators are trying to better understand how bariatric surgery leads to weight loss, and the role of bacteria that live in the gut in making this happen.
The study team is currently conducting a pragmatic, community-based assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) in overweight and obese adults > 50 years with knee OA in both urban and rural counties in North Carolina. As the participants randomized to the 18 month diet and exercise group in the WE-CAN study successfully complete the intervention (≥ 5% weight loss), the study team has the unique opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of a theoretically-based tapered weight maintenance intervention. Eligible participants will be randomized to either the weight-loss maintenance or health education attention control groups.
