Despite the popularity of low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat (Atkins) diet, no randomized, controlled trials have evaluated its efficacy.
The study objective was to evaluate the effect of prescribing a low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) and low-fat (LFD) on food cravings, preferences, appetite. Obese adults were randomly assigned LCD (n = 134) or LFD 136) for 2 years. Cravings specific types foods (sweets, high-fats, fast-food fats, carbohydrates/starches); preferences high-sugar, high-carbohydrate, low-carbohydrate/high-protein foods; appetite measured during trial evaluated this secondary analysis data. Differences between change...
Objective To compare the efficacy of non-nutritive sweetened beverages (NNS) or water for weight loss during a 12-week behavioral treatment program. Methods An equivalence trial design with NNS as main factor in prospective randomized among 303 men and women was employed. All participants participated The results phase (12 weeks) an ongoing (1 year) that is also evaluating effects these two treatments on maintenance were reported. Results not equivalent beverage group losing significantly...
Objective To evaluate the effects of water versus beverages sweetened with non‐nutritive sweeteners (NNS) on body weight in subjects enrolled a year‐long behavioral loss treatment program. Methods The study used randomized equivalence design NNS or as main factor trial among 303 weight‐stable people overweight and obesity. All participants participated program plus assignment to consume 24 ounces (710 ml) daily for 1 year. Results treatments were non‐equivalent, showing greater at end At...
Concerns exist about deleterious renal effects of low-carbohydrate high-protein weight loss diets. This issue was addressed in a secondary analysis parallel randomized, controlled long-term trial.
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered the gold standard used to assess efficacy of treatment. While a well implemented RCT can produce an unbiased estimate relative difference between treatment groups, generalizability these findings may be limited. Specific threats external validity include preference. The purposes this study were to: (i) whether receiving one's preference was associated with weight loss and retention (ii) modified relationship treatments loss. Treatment...
To investigate the temperature dependence of T lymphocyte activation, we have examined IL 1-induced secretion 2 by murine lymphoma cell line LBRM-33-1A5. During 24-hr incubations, there are modest increases in as culture temperatures increased from 33 degrees to 37 C, but declines at higher temperatures. However, kinetics release during first 8 hr highly temperature-dependent. The rate linearly with over range 41 demonstrating coefficients (Q10) greater than 70. In contrast, 2-promoted...
Previous studies have demonstrated that low-carbohydrate diets achieve greater short-term (6 months) weight loss than low-fat diets. Longer-term (1 to 2 years) data been inconsistent. Weight obtained with either diet is generally minimal. Some investigators attributed this suboptimal the uniform lack of inclusion in most behavioral interventions change lifestyle. This randomized, parallel-group, controlled trial compared effects 2-year treatment a or combined intervention program on body and...
Introduction Given the burdens of treatment and poor prognosis, older adults with kidney failure would benefit from improved decision making palliative care to clarify goals, address symptoms, reduce unwanted procedures. Best Case/Worst Case (BC/WC) is a communication tool that uses scenario planning support patients’ making. This article describes protocol for multisite, cluster randomised trial test effect training nephrologists use BC/WC on patient receipt care, quality life...
Background . Individuals attempting weight reduction have varying success when participating in the same intervention. Identifying physiological factors associated with greater loss could improve outcomes. Methods Sixty-one adults (BMI 27–30 kg/m 2 ) participated a 16-week group-based, cognitive-behavioral control program. Concentrations of 12 fasting hormones and cytokines related to adiposity, satiety/hunger, inflammation were measured using Milliplex human metabolic panel before after...
Background: The purpose of this paper was to assess the feasibility Micro-Mobile Compression ® (MMC) on lactate clearance following exhaustive exercise and subsequent performance. Methods: Elite male cyclists were randomized MMC (n = 8) or passive recovery (control, n 8). is incorporated into a sandal that intermittently compresses venous plexus during non-weight bearing augment return. On day 1, subjects performed graded test cycle ergometer followed by 60 minutes seated recovery, with...
