Filter by:The present study aimed to investigate the changes produced in gut microbiota by a very-low-calorie-ketogenic diet followed by a low calorie diet, whether the use of synbiotics is able to modulate gut microbiota diversity and composition and its association with gut permeability and inflammation
Study of the impact of weight loss induced by surgery (interventional group) or optimal nutritional management (control group) on sexual function in men with severe obesity
A randomized controlled trial for the efficacy of contingency management to encourage smoking cessation and weight loss.
This pilot study aims to recruit 30 adults with abdominal obesity, without major chronic disease, and test whether clinical dietary advice that is solely focused on the timing of eating (time restricted eating), has an effect on cardiometabolic health compared to standard dietary advice for cardiometabolic health, which is focused on content. The goal of this pilot study is to develop and hone dietary counseling approaches for time restricted eating for RD's in a clinical practice paradigm, and collect data on testing this intervention compared to standard dietary counseling approaches for cardiometabolic health.
This study is being done to assess the stomach emptying effect of a maximum dose of 3 mg Liraglutide compared to placebo in subjects who are overweight or obese. Liraglutide is a medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for routine clinical use.
The aim of the present research is to test the effect of helping people to reward themselves when they have successfully lost weight and the impact this will have on subsequent weight. Each participant will be randomly allocated to one of four conditions. The trial requires 200 participants to perform a fully powered statistical analysis. The four conditions are: (1) a control condition, (2) intervention 1 (form a single self-incentivising implementation intention from a drop-down menu), (3) intervention 2 (form multiple self-incentivising implementation intentions from a drop-down menu), or (4) intervention 3 (asked to form a single self-incentivising implementation intention of their own devising). The main outcome measure will be BMI, which will be self-reported.
The objective of the proposed study is to enroll women with obesity that will undergo a controlled, energy restricted feeding intervention to test the effects of chronic ethanol consumption on adipose distribution and circulating testosterone during weight loss.
This study will examine whether, compared to a standard, low-fat, calorie-restricted diet intervention, the clinic-supported Ideal Protein weight loss method will result in greater weight loss and improvement in cardiometabolic risk factors over 3 months among obese adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors.
This study is for men and women have been diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and will consequently participate in the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program.
New and creative approaches are needed to address childhood obesity. Current strategies result in suboptimal outcomes and are intensive and costly. It has been theorized that overeating, may have addictive qualities, although few weight management interventions have tested therapeutic techniques founded on addiction medicine principles, such as, withdrawal, tolerance and craving control1, 2. A pilot study utilizing an addiction model based mobile health (mHealth) weight-loss intervention in adolescents showed that the app intervention reduced BMI Z-score (zBMI) to a greater extent than youth participating in an in-clinic multidisciplinary weight management intervention, and appeared to be a cost-effective, labor efficient method for adolescent weight management. The proposed multi-site randomized control trial (RCT) will test the effectiveness of an addiction-based weight loss intervention, embodied first as a smartphone app with telephone coaching and second as an identical approach phone-coaching alone intervention compared to age matched controls participating in an in-clinic weight management interventions in a larger sample of economically, racially and ethnically diverse adolescents (ages 14-18). One hundred and eighty adolescents will be recruited from pediatric interdisciplinary weight management clinics operating out of five different hospital systems in Southern California and through targeted mailing to 40 ethnically, racially and economically diverse neighborhoods in Los Angeles County. The adolescents will be randomized 1:1 via stratified block randomization to either receive 1) interactive addiction model based mobile health (mHealth) weight-loss intervention with personalized phone-coaching (AppCoach), 2) interactive addiction model based mHealth weight-loss intervention alone (App) or 3) Multidisciplinary in-clinic weight management program (Clinic). Assessment of the intervention's effect on zBMI and percent over the 95th percentile (%BMIp95), fasting metabolic parameters, addictive eating habits, executive function, and motivation for change will be obtained at enrollment, 3, 6, 12 and 18 months (1 year post intervention follow up). In addition, a real-life economic analysis (cost, cost-saving and non-monetary benefits) analysis will be completed comparing AppCoach to 1) App and 2) Clinic. We will further explore whether primary and secondary outcomes differ by race and whether race moderates the relationship between initial intervention efficacy and prolonged weight maintenance.
