Some studies about weight loss:
Study 1
Background. Optimal behavioural interventions for sustainable weight loss are uncertain. We therefore conducted a study among overweight/obese women comparing conventional dietary counselling of individuals (counselling-based intervention) to a novel, group-based skill-building intervention.
Methods. Eighty subjects were randomly assigned to either the counselling-based or to the skill-building intervention. Outcomes included weight loss, dietician hours per group and per unit weight loss, and dollars spent per group and per unit weight lost.
Results. Weight loss at 6 months (follow-up rate 61.3%) in the counselling-based group was 8.8 lb (P = 0.0001), and in the skill-building group was 3.8 lb (P = 0.01). A total of 160 dietician hours were required for the counselling-based group, and 131 for the skilled-building group. The counselling-based group cost an average of $21 per pound lost, while the skill-building cost an average of $48 per pound lost (P = 0.16).
Conclusions. At 6 months, individualized office-based counselling produced more weight loss than a skill-building approach and cost less than half as much per pound of weight loss. Longer-term follow-up is required to determine if, as hypothesized, the skill-building intervention produces more sustainable weight loss.
Study 2
BACKGROUND:
The possible advantage for weight loss of a diet that emphasizes protein, fat, or carbohydrates has not been established, and there are few studies that extend beyond 1 year.
METHODS:
We randomly assigned 811 overweight adults to one of four diets; the targeted percentages of energy derived from fat, protein, and carbohydrates in the four diets were 20, 15, and 65%; 20, 25, and 55%; 40, 15, and 45%; and 40, 25, and 35%. The diets consisted of similar foods and met guidelines for cardiovascular health. The participants were offered group and individual instructional sessions for 2 years. The primary outcome was the change in body weight after 2 years in two-by-two factorial comparisons of low fat versus high fat and average protein versus high protein and in the comparison of highest and lowest carbohydrate content.
RESULTS:
At 6 months, participants assigned to each diet had lost an average of 6 kg, which represented 7% of their initial weight; they began to regain weight after 12 months. By 2 years, weight loss remained similar in those who were assigned to a diet with 15% protein and those assigned to a diet with 25% protein (3.0 and 3.6 kg, respectively); in those assigned to a diet with 20% fat and those assigned to a diet with 40% fat (3.3 kg for both groups); and in those assigned to a diet with 65% carbohydrates and those assigned to a diet with 35% carbohydrates (2.9 and 3.4 kg, respectively) (P>0.20 for all comparisons). Among the 80% of participants who completed the trial, the average weight loss was 4 kg; 14 to 15% of the participants had a reduction of at least 10% of their initial body weight. Satiety, hunger, satisfaction with the diet, and attendance at group sessions were similar for all diets; attendance was strongly associated with weight loss (0.2 kg per session attended). The diets improved lipid-related risk factors and fasting insulin levels.
Study 2
BACKGROUND:
Physicians frequently prescribe medications for weight loss but offer minimal lifestyle counselling despite the additional benefits of combining both interventions.
OBJECTIVE:
To compare 5 methods of delivering a lifestyle modification program to obese patients receiving sibutramine.
DESIGN:
Randomised, 6-month, open-label study. Participants were assigned to intervention groups by using a computer-generated schedule of randomly permuted blocks. Block length was 5.
SETTING:
12 independent research clinics with experience running obesity trials.
PATIENTS:
376 patients with obesity (body mass index > or =30 and <40 kg/m(2)).
INTERVENTION:
High-frequency face-to-face lifestyle modification counselling (HF-F2F) (n = 74), low-frequency face-to-face counselling (LF-F2F) (n = 76), high-frequency telephone counselling (HF-TEL) (n = 76), high-frequency e-mail counselling (HF-EMAIL) (n = 74), or no dietician contact (self-help [SELF]) (n = 76). All participants received sibutramine, 10 mg/d; a lifestyle manual; and access to a weight-loss Web site.
MEASUREMENTS:
Percentage change in body weight at 6 months was the primary outcome. Secondary end points included changes in waist circumference; lipid, glucose, and insulin levels; blood pressure; weight-related symptoms; and quality of life at 6 months.
RESULTS:
At 6 months, the mean weight loss, relative to baseline, in the HF-F2F and HF-TEL groups was similar (8.9% [95% CI, 8.0% to 9.8%] and 7.7% [CI, 6.8% to 8.7%]) and significantly greater than that in the other groups (LF-F2F, 6.4% [CI, 5.4% to 7.3%]; HF-EMAIL, 5.9% [CI, 5.0% to 6.8%]; and SELF, 5.2% [CI, 4.3% to 6.1%]). All groups showed significant improvements in waist circumference, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and measures of quality of life and weight-related symptoms. There were no serious adverse events and no differences in minor events among groups.
LIMITATION:
Most participants were women, and the attrition rate was 30%.
CONCLUSION:
High-frequency telephone contact with a dietician was similar to HF-F2F contact for supporting lifestyle modification in obese patients trying to lose weight. The findings might be used by providers and health systems to promote healthy lifestyle changes for their patients.
