The effect of additional dietary tmm fatty acids (7% energy) on plasma lipids was assessed in a double-blind comparison four separate diets: 1, enriched with butter fat (lauricmyristic-palmitic); 2, oleic acid-rich; 3, elaidic 4, palmitic acid-rich.The total period 11 weeks and comprised normal foods plus specific supplements.In 27 mildly hypercholesterolemic men, LDL cholesterol were significantly lower during the 3-week acid-rich diet, similar other three diets.For diets levels mg/dl: 163;...
To comprehensively compare the effects of a very low-carbohydrate, high-unsaturated/low-saturated fat diet (LC) with those high-unrefined carbohydrate, low-fat (HC) on glycemic control and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Obese adults (n = 115, BMI 34.4 ± 4.2 kg/m(2), age 58 7 years) T2DM were randomized to hypocaloric LC (14% carbohydrate [<50 g/day], 28% protein, 58% [<10% saturated fat]) or an energy-matched HC (53% 17% 30% combined structured exercise...
Aim To examine whether a low‐carbohydrate, high‐unsaturated/low‐saturated fat diet (LC) improves glycaemic control and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in overweight obese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods A total of 115 adults T2D (mean [SD]; BMI, 34.6 [4.3] kg/m ; age, 58 [7] years; HbA1c, 7.3 [1.1]%) were randomized to 1 planned energy‐matched, hypocaloric diets combined aerobic/resistance exercise (1 hour, 3 days/week) for years: LC: 14% energy as carbohydrate, 28%...
OBJECTIVE—To determine the effect of a high-protein (HP) weight loss diet compared with lower-protein (LP) on fat and lean tissue fasting postprandial glucose insulin concentrations. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—Replacing dietary protein for carbohydrate (CHO) during energy restriction has been effective in sparing mass improving sensitivity obese subjects but not tested type 2 diabetes. We an HP (28% protein, 42% CHO, 28% [8% saturated fatty acids, 12% monounsaturated 5% polyunsaturated...
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory-response that a strong, independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality. CRP positively associated with body mass index (BMI). In this study, we investigated the effects dynamic weight loss on in 83 healthy, obese women (mean BMI, 33.8+/-0.4 kg/m(2); range, 28.2 to 43.8 kg/m(2)). Subjects were placed very-low-fat, energy-restricted diets (5700 kJ, 15% fat) for 12 weeks. Weight, waist and hip circumferences, plasma lipids, glucose, measured at...
Context: Dietary proteins appear to be more satiating than carbohydrate. The mechanism and effect of protein carbohydrate type are unclear.
Although dietary protein produces higher acute satiety relative to carbohydrate, the influence of source and body mass index (BMI) has not been clearly described.The objective study was assess postprandial responses different sources, compared with glucose, in males normal high BMI.This a randomized, crossover four preloads followed by blood sampling (+15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 min) buffet meal.The conducted at an outpatient clinic.The population included 72 men, BMI range 20.6-39.9...
Very low-carbohydrate diets are often used to promote weight loss, but their effects on bowel health and function largely unknown. We compared the of a very low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LC) diet with high-carbohydrate, high-fibre, low-fat (HC) indices function. In parallel study design, ninety-one overweight obese participants (age 50·6 (sd 7·5) years; BMI 33·7 4·2) kg/m2) were randomly assigned either an energy-restricted (about 6–7 MJ, 30 % deficit) planned isoenergetic LC or HC for 8...
In overweight women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the benefits of addition exercise to an energy-restricted diet in further improving cardiometabolic risk factors and reproductive function has not been extensively studied.The objective was evaluate effects aerobic aerobic-resistance when combined high protein (5000-6000 kJ/d) on metabolic PCOS.A 20-wk outpatient, randomized, parallel study conducted a metropolitan research clinic.Ninety-four obese PCOS (age 29.3 +/- 0.7 yr; body...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of two low-fat hypocaloric diets differing in carbohydrate-to-protein ratio, with and without resistance exercise training (RT), on weight loss, body composition, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk outcomes overweight/obese patients type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total 83 men women diabetes (aged 56.1 ± 7.5 years, BMI 35.4 4.6 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to an isocaloric, energy-restricted diet (female subjects 6 MJ/day, male 7 MJ/day)...
