Filter by:CitruSlim® can promote healthy weight loss by promoting anabolic state during weight loss programs, prevent the body from storing fat, reduce appetites and maintain healthy cholesterol and blood glucose level during weight loss program. This study focuses to prove the efficacy and safety of the product in a population of overweight and obese individual.
This is the first study to examine changes in resting metabolic rate up to 72 hours following an exercise session, and how these changes may be affected by 12 weeks of high intensity interval circuit training (HIICT). Various training programs that have been implemented in previous studies have investigated changes in resting metabolic rate only for the first 2-8 hours following an exercise session. Briefly, the results of this study will provide insight into the following: 1. To what extent and for how long does HIICT increases the resting metabolic rate following an exercise session? 2. How can this exercise program enhance metabolism without any dietary or other exercise intervention? 3. What is the caloric deficit that will result from 3 months of HIICT and how to what extent this deficit will influence body weight reduction?
The TREAT Pilot is a 3 months open-label pilot study to examine the effect of restricting the duration of eating (Time Restricted EATing) in metabolically unhealthy adults with overweight or obesity. This pilot study will allow the investigator to collect preliminary data for the design of a larger study.
The purpose is to establish feasibility of delivering an individually-tailored, behavioral intervention to manage gestational weight gain [GWG] that adapts to the unique needs and challenges of overweight/obese pregnant women [OW/OBPW] and will utilize control systems engineering to optimize this intervention; in other words, make this intervention manage GWG in OW/OBPW as effectively and efficiently as possible.
The investigators aim to determine the association of dietary intake on cardiovascular disease risk factors among children with overweight and obesity who are being evaluated for elevated blood pressure. The investigators will also investigate for predictors of vascular function and determine if predictors vary by level of sodium intake.
This project will develop and test an online health promotion program that augments diet and physical activity behavior change methods using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). ACT is an evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy found to be effective in over 200 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in improving a wide range of psychological and behavioral health problems. Recently, several clinical trials have found ACT enhances diet and exercise behavior as well as long term weight management. These studies have focused on testing ACT provided by experts in face-to-face interventions, which limits broad dissemination. Delivering an ACT health promotion program online could potentially provide a low-cost resource to improve health across Utah. The specific aims are to: 1. Develop a canvas-based online course (ACT on Health) that teaches how to improve diet and physical activity as well as ACT-based skills to enhance behavior change efforts. 2. Evaluate ACT on Health relative to a waitlist in a RCT with 60 overweight/obese adults on outcomes including self-reported physical activity, diet, and quality of life. If successful, this project will both provide an ongoing canvas extension course delivered throughout Utah to improve health behaviors. This project seeks to develop and test an online, self-guided ACT program (ACT on Health) to improve diet and physical activity. ACT on Health will include 8 weekly modules teaching effective health behavior change methods coupled with ACT strategies to reduce maladaptive motivators and enhance adaptive motivators for change. The investigators will evaluate the program in a RCT relative to a waitlist condition with 60 overweight/obese adults recruited through Extension in 7 Utah counties. The program will be offered through the USU Extension Canvas platform to ensure, if effective, that the program could continue to be offered across Utah. The two hypotheses for this study are as follows: 1. Participants will report a high degree of satisfaction and will demonstrate adequate engagement in the ACT on Health program. 2. Participants assigned to ACT on Health will improve more on self-reported diet, physical activity, and quality of life relative to the waitlist condition.
Mindfulness-Based Interventions have been applied in different fields to improve physical and psychological health. However, little is known about its applicability and effectiveness in Spanish adults with overweight and obesity. The aim of the present study protocol is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of an adapted MBI programme to reduce emotional eating in adults with overweight and obesity in primary care (PC) settings.
Research has shown that replacing sitting time with low intensity physical activity (such as slowly walking and standing) has beneficial effects on metabolic health, like insulin sensitivity, comparable to improvements after sitting all day in combination with 1h streneous exercise. The main objective of this study is to investigate the underlying mechanisms responsible for improved insulin sensitivity after 4 days of sitting less compared to sitting and exercise in healthy obese women. Our secondary objective is to investigate the effects of sitting less on cardio metabolic parameters.
A prospective non-interventional single-centre study aimed to assess the current practice of non-pharmacological treatment and pharmacological therapy of overweight and obesity in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) or with a high risk of CVD according to the patients' survey data
The SMART 2.0 study is a 24-month trial designed to evaluate the impact of the intervention with technology and personal health coaching or with technology alone on objectively measured weight among overweight young adults in a university setting over 24 months compared to a control group. The investigators hypothesize that both interventions will significantly improve weight compared to the control group, and the group receiving personal health coaching will experience the greatest improvement.
