Filter by:In a context where meat consumption should be dramatically reduced in western countries to improve both population and planet health, the "Eat Less Meat" one-month challenge is a new behavioural intervention that aims (i) to weaken meat consumption habit and (ii) to enhance intrinsic motivation to eat less meat to trigger long-term reduction in meat consumption. The present study focusses on the quantitative evaluation of the effect of this challenge on French university student's meat consumption. Parallel two-arm randomized controlled trial with repeated measures (online questionnaires) pre-, during- and post-intervention. All the participants will be recruited to take part in the "Eat Less Meat" challenge for one month. Participants in the control group will take part in the challenge 4 months after the participants in the intervention group. Participants in both groups will complete the online questionnaires at the exact same time, i.e., pre-, during- and post-intervention measures will take place before the control group starts the challenge.
Food prepared outside of the home tends to have a high energy content, and high levels of nutrients of concern (sodium, fat, saturated fat and sugar), especially when compared to home-cooked food. A number of studies suggest that when energy density of a food is manipulated it has a linear effect on energy intake, because consumers tend to eat a constant weight of food. However, recent observational research suggested that up to approximately 1.5-2kcal/g, individuals are relatively insensitive to changes in energy density, and there is no indication of compensation through altering meal size. However, upwards of approximately 1.5-2kcal/g, the authors proposed that individuals compensate for increases in energy density by selecting and consuming smaller meal sizes. The investigators aim to measure participant's consumption (in grams and kilocalories) of three meals at low, medium and high energy densities, and to measure later food intake to observe any evidence of later compensation in response to experimental condition
In the present study, the authors aimed to investigate the effects of hardaliye (grape juice) consumption on oxidative stress parameters, lipid profile and blood pressure in young football players.
More than 70% of chronic illnesses can be prevented or reversed with a whole-food, plant-based diet (WFPBD). This dietary pattern is also more sustainable for our planetary health. The majority of physicians receive fewer than 20 hours of nutrition education during the entire course of their medical training. Although many physicians are aware of the importance of diet on their well-being, they face significant barriers in following a healthy diet. Because physicians' own habits strongly influence patient health habits, the investigators theorize that physicians who eat a WFPBD themselves will be much more likely to successfully counsel their patients on nutrition and recommend a WFPBD. The most effective methods that can be successfully used to encourage busy physicians to adopt a WFPBD have not yet been identified. Given the increasing rates of diet-related chronic illnesses, if proven effective, this study may offer a new scalable approach to encourage physicians, and ultimately their patients, to adopt a WFPBD. The aims of this study are to: 1. Assess the impact of a multimodal 6-week educational program on WFPBD on a) change in physicians' diet type and quality, b) change in mindset about WFPBD, and c) stage of change based on the transtheoretical model of behavior change (Figure 1), compared to the delayed-intervention (control group) from baseline to week 6. 2. Assess the impact of the 6-week educational program on the development of skills and knowledge required to a) adopt a WFPBD and b) counsel patients on the same.
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a central hub for human health given its essential role in nutrient absorption, waste production and immunity. Diet is a major contributor to gut health including affecting the incidence and severity of GI disease. This is mediated, at least in part, by the presence of microbiota, a highly diet-dependent biome. In fact, dietary changes are capable of altering bacterial populations and/or microbial metabolism, which in turn, controls the type and abundance of small molecules being produced in the gut, many of which can exert biological effects. Several lines of evidence suggest that dietary protein in particular, can impact gut health. Therefore, this trial will test whether dietary protein type differentially impacts gut function in humans by carrying out a single-blinded randomized cross-over controlled feeding study in healthy individuals. Subjects will be provided with an individualized very low protein diet augmented with pea- or egg white-derived protein supplements, as their major protein source. The impact of consuming pea vs. egg white protein on 1) the fecal metabolome, 2) gut barrier function and 3) gastrointestinal symptoms will be determined.
The specific aims of this pilot study are: Aim 1) To identify whether no prep ready to eat meals (intervention) or ingredient bundles (control) have higher client acceptability, liking, satisfaction, and perceived diet quality ratings. Aim 2) To identify whether no prep ready to eat meals (intervention) or ingredient bundles (control) have higher feasibility ratings with food pantry staff. Exploratory Aim) To identify whether no prep ready to meals (intervention) or ingredient bundles (control) lead to greater improvements in food security, perceived diet quality, and fruit and vegetable consumption.
This project aims to redesign and optimize a deep-structure culturally-tailored healthy eating program and test its effectiveness in improving dietary outcomes, anthropometric, and blood pressure among 75 diverse Latinos, compared to surface-level messages.
The primary objective of this study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week behavioral weight management intervention adapted for Black men living in the rural South. The intervention is guided by Self-Determination Theory of Motivation, Social Cognitive Theory, and Ecological Systems Theory. Key aspects of the intervention include a football-themed curriculum, facilitator and peer concordance to the extent possible (ie., similarly aged Black men), an emphasis on male-specific health concerns, group-based competition at multiple levels of the intervention (e.g., during in-person physical activity sessions and for achieving behavioral goals), a limited educational component, and physical activity being a substantial component of meeting sessions.
It is estimated that around 20% of breast cancers (BC) in the UK are preventable through adherence to appropriate health behaviours, i.e., healthy diet, physical activity, limited alcohol, not smoking, and that women at increased risk of BC could benefit from greater decreases in risk than the general population via health behaviour changes. Young women (age <35 years) who are at increased risk of developing BC currently receive little or no information regarding health behaviours and BC risk, or support for behaviour change. This feasibility study aims to explore whether a novel app is acceptable to women at increased risk and could potentially engage them with improved health behaviours which could reduce their future risk of BC.
New research suggests that about 1 in 8 children may be diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the United States. This could be due to several reasons which remain unknown. This study invites mothers who have given birth to children in the United States to share their experiences with diet and supplementation during pregnancy. The purpose of this study is to understand the role of a mother's diet, social standing, and supplementation with folate or folic acid may have on her child's future development of autism. Comparisons will be made between mothers of children who have a child with an official ASD diagnosis from a clinician to mothers of children without an ASD diagnosis. Findings from this study can be used to help identify risk factors for ASD risk.
