Filter by:Low-carbohydrate diets are often used as weight-loss strategies by obese individuals and athletes. This diet has effects on oxidizing fat and suppressing appetite. But short term evidences are still few. In combat sports such as taekwondo, athletes prefer rapid weight loss to achieve a desired weight category. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the low carbohydrate diet combined with strict calorie restriction on body composition and exercise performance in taekwondo athletes.
The primary objective of this trial is to assess the effects of online app weight loss programs on liver health in obese adults.
Obesity manifest with inflammation, hyperglycaemia and dyslipidaemia. These conditions disturb redox system by generating excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and causing oxidative stress (OS) leading to DNA damage. Very low calorie diet (VLCD) have rapid positive effect on weight loss, glucose homeostasis, inflammation and OS. The aim of study is to test the influence of 3-weeks VLCD on anthropometric, biochemical and genomic parameters in class II and III obesity patients.
Infertile PCOS women with obesity were included into lifestyle change weight loss program prior to inclusion to IVF procedures. They attended group as well as individual workouts and they were advised on healthy eating.
To evaluate a nutritional intervention for women newly diagnosed with breast cancer on a weight control and physical activity program.
Studies of appetitive behavior in humans after RYGB have produced ambiguous results. It therefore remains unclear whether there are fundamental shifts in the palatability of high-fat and sugary foods after RYGB or simply a decrease in the appetitive drive to ingest them. Moreover, learning processes may play a role as changes in diet selection progress with time in rats after RYGB. However, direct measures of an altered food selection in humans after RYGB are rare and both the durability of the phenomenon as well as the role of experience for changes in food selection remain elusive.
The aim of this study is to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a 16-week online behavioral weight loss program compared to usual care to promote weight loss in the postpartum period among women with cardiovascular risk factors. The investigators will also be testing different behavioral strategies to recruit postpartum women to the study, including 2 email recruitment strategies and 2 mailer recruitment strategies, informed by behavioral design.
While interdisciplinary weight loss intervention have been shown successful among adolescents with obesity, a weight regain is most of the time observed within the following weeks or months. The aim of the present project will be to better identify the independent role played by both the metabolic and mechanical load and their modification during weight loss, on the energy expenditure and energy metabolism of adolescents with obesity.
This study will investigate a compound of probiotics and prebiotics in females and males with overweight with the aim to evaluate the effect on weight and metabolic markers. The design is a three month randomized doubled-blinded, three-armed placebo-controlled trial of probiotics for weight loss. Normal dose (2 capsules á 0.4g per day) doubled dose (4 capsules á 0.4g per day), or placebo. A second, non-blinded, phase with only the compound of probiotics and prebiotics, with tripple dose (6 capsuled á 0.4g per day), will be performed for individuals who had the compound in the first phase.
Although individuals following commercial intermittent fasting programmes consume meal replacement products during fasting days, further behavioural variables such as time of food consumption, sleep quality and duration, appetite and mood may significantly impact weight loss and intervention success. This project aims to assess behavioural patterns (dietary intake, sleep, meal timing, physical activity), mood and appetite on both fasting and non-fasting days and to investigate whether these are associated with weight loss.
