The effects of incremental exercise on appetite, energy intake (EI), expenditure (EE) and balance (EB) in lean men women were examined. Six (age 29·7 ( sd 5·9) years, weight 75·2 15·3) kg, height 1·75 0·11) m) six 24·7 66·7 9·10) 1·70 0·09) each studied three times during a 16 d protocol, corresponding to no additional (Nex), moderate-intensity (Mex; 1·5–2·0 MJ/d) high-intensity (Hex; 3·0–4·0 regimens. Subjects fed EB days 1–2, 3–16 they ad libitum from medium-fat diet constant composition....
Average population dietary intakes do not reflect the wide diversity of patterns across population. It is recognised that most people in UK meet recommendations and have diets with a high environmental impact, but changing habits has proved very difficult. The purpose this study was to investigate changes needed achieve healthy diet lower greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) (referred as sustainable diet) by taking into account each individual's current then minimising they need make. Linear...
Abstract Objective To model dietary changes required to shift the UK population diets that meet recommendations for health, have lower greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and are affordable different income groups. Design Linear programming was used create requirements health reduced GHGE (57 80 % targets) by quintile, taking account of food budgets foods currently purchased, thereby keeping change a minimum. Setting/Participants Nutrient composition, price data were mapped 101 groups in...
We assessed the effect of no exercise (Nex; control) and high level (Hex; approximately 4 MJ/day) two dietary manipulations [a high-fat diet (HF; 50% energy, 700 kJ/100 g) low-fat (LF; 20% 300 g)] on compensatory changes in energy intake (EI) expenditure (EE) over 7-day periods. Eight lean men were each studied four times a 2 x randomized design. EI was directly quantified by weight food consumed. EE heart rate (HR) monitoring. Body measured daily. Mean daily 17.6 11.5 MJ/day (P < 0.001)...
To date, no study has directly and simultaneously measured the discrepancy between what people actually eat they report eating under observation in context of energy balance (EB). The present aimed to objectively measure ‘extent’ ‘nature’ misreporting dietary intakes conditions which EB feeding behaviour were continuously monitored. For this purpose, a total fifty-nine adults recruited for 12 d, involving two 3 d overt phases covert food intake measurement randomised cross-over design....
Climate change is threatening future global food and nutrition security. Limiting the increase in temperature to 1·5 °C set out The Paris Agreement (2015) while achieving nutrient security means overhauling current system create one that can deliver healthy sustainable diets. To attain this, it critical understand implications for of actions mitigate climate as well impacts on production composition foods. It widely recognised livestock has a much greater environmental burden than crop...
Objective: This project audited rate and extent of weight loss in a primary care/commercial management organisation partnership scheme. Methods: 34,271 patients were referred to Slimming World for 12 weekly sessions. Data analysed using individual records. Results: Average (SD) BMI change was –1.5 kg/m2 (1.3), –4.0 kg (3.7), percent –4.0% (3.6), –0.3 kg/week, number sessions attended 8.9 (3.6) 12. For attending at least 10 (n = 19,907 or 58.1%), average –2.0 –5.5 (3.8), –5.5% (3.5), –0.4...
Abstract Objective: Our goal was to compare the effects of mandatory consumption commercial snack products (CSPs) on energy intakes and balance in free‐living adults assess interaction between habitual level CSP interventions. Research Methods Procedures: Four groups 18 subjects (lean overweight, males females) were studied using a crossover design. Subjects consumed one type (high‐carbohydrate, high‐fat, or mixed composition) at three manipulations 0 MJ (control), 1.5 (low‐energy), 3.0...
Summary There is growing evidence that the glycaemic index (GI) of diet important with respect to body weight and metabolic disease risk. However, research limited by paucity GI values for commonly consumed carbohydrate‐rich foods in European countries. A new methodology has been developed consistent assignment across five databases used Diogenes intervention study. were assigned according decreasing levels confidence (1) Measured specific foods; (2) Published from published sources; (3)...
Nutrition security describes the adequacy of food supply to meet not only energy but also macronutrient and micronutrient requirements for population. The aim this study was develop a method assess trends in national nutrition contribution imports security, using UK as case study. Food data from FAO balance sheets composition tables were used estimate nutrient content domestically produced food, imported exported food. defined total (domestic production, minus exports, plus imports)...
The objectives of the present study were to examine effects (1) ingesting mandatory snacks v. no and (2) composition isoenergetically-dense high in protein, fat or carbohydrate, on food intake energy (EI) eight men with ad libitum access a diet fixed composition. Subjects each studied four times 9 d protocol per treatment. On days 1-2, subjects given medium-fat maintenance estimated at 1.6 x resting metabolic rate (RMR). 3-9, consumed three isoenergetic, isoenergetically dense (380 kJ/100 g)...
Objective estimates of activity patterns and energy expenditure (EE) are important for the measurement balance. The Intelligent Device Energy Expenditure Activity (IDEEA) can estimate EE from thirty-five postures activities it identify record. present study evaluated IDEEA system's estimation using whole-body indirect calorimetry over 24 h, in free-living subjects doubly-labelled water (DLW) 14 d. was calculated data calibration values RMR while sitting standing, both as estimated by system...
The Scottish Dietary Goals (SDGs) were published to promote healthier diets. higher cost of diets may be a barrier their adoption by households in deprived areas. aim was estimate dietary intakes relevant the SGDs, derived from purchase data food and drinks brought into home area deprivation.
