1) A study divided participants into three groups - one following a low-carb diet plus daily chocolate, one following a low-carb diet only, and a control group.
2) Those in the chocolate group lost slightly more weight (3.2% vs 3.1%) and experienced greater improvements in well-being and biochemical measures than the low-carb only group.
3) While both low-carb groups lost weight steadily, the chocolate group gained slightly at first before losing more weight than the low-carb group in later weeks.
This document summarizes a randomized controlled trial that compared weight loss and metabolic outcomes after 2 years on a low-carbohydrate versus low-fat diet. 307 participants were assigned to either a low-carbohydrate diet with limited carbohydrate intake (20g/day for 3 months, then increasing) or a low-fat diet with limited calorie intake (1200-1800 kcal/day). Both diets were combined with behavioral treatment. At 2 years, weight loss was similar (around 7kg) between groups. The low-carbohydrate diet resulted in greater improvements in blood lipids but also more initial side effects. Long-term weight loss requires ongoing behavioral support regardless of diet.
This document discusses myths, presumptions, and facts about obesity. It begins with an introduction explaining how unsupported beliefs can lead to ineffective policies. It then outlines several myths about obesity that have been refuted by evidence, such as the myth that small sustained lifestyle changes lead to large long-term weight loss. It also discusses some presumptions about obesity for which the evidence is unclear or inconclusive, such as the presumption that regularly eating breakfast is protective against obesity. Finally, it outlines several facts about obesity that are supported by sufficient evidence.
This document analyzes the short-term benefits of the ketogenic diet (KD), such as fast weight loss and reduced blood lipids, versus the unknown long-term health outcomes. While initial studies show advantages of the KD, long-term consumption may lead to deficiencies. More research is needed to understand long-term effects, especially for average individuals not in disease states. The KD may not be a sustainable lifestyle change and could potentially cause psychological or physiological issues if maintained indefinitely.
This pilot study assessed differences in body composition and response to a high protein liquid diet in obese adolescents with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). 28 subjects were recruited, 19 obese without T2D and 9 obese with T2D. At baseline, the obese without T2D group had higher average body weight, fat percentage, and total fat mass than the obese with T2D group, though differences were not statistically significant due to small sample sizes. Following a 2-week high protein liquid diet, both groups saw reductions in fat mass, with average reductions of 1.4% for those without T2D and 1.2% for those with T2D.

The conventional approach to weight loss, based on the calorie balance model, offers the simple advice, “eat less and move more.” Unfortunately, few people can maintain weight loss over the long term through calorie restriction because the body fights back, with rising hunger and slowing metabolism. An alternative approach to treatment aims to target the underlying driver of weight gain – fat cells overstimulated to hoard too many calories – leading to weight loss with less struggle.

Abstract: Physiological mechanisms promote weight gain after famine. Because eating disorders, obesity, and dieting limit food intake, they are famine-like experiences. The development of the concept of meeting an ideal weight was the beginning of increasing obesity. Weight stigma, the perception of being fat, lack of understanding of normal growth and development, and increased concern about obesity on the part of health providers, parents, and caregivers have reinforced each other to promote dieting. Because weight suppression and disinhibition provoke long-term weight increase, dieting is a major factor producing the obesity epidemic. The integrated eating disorder-obesity theory included in this article emphasizes that, contrary to dieters, lifetime weight maintainers depend on physiological processes to control weight and experience minimal weight change.

A ketogenic diet to lose weight and fight metabolic diseasehananenina5
Obesity and metabolic diseases are major health problems worldwide.
In 2016, obesity affected 13% of adults globally.
Obesity is a risk factor of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of metabolic abnormalities, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high waist-to- hip ratio, and low HDL (good) cholesterol.
To combat this, many diets have emerged, including the ketogenic diet, in which a person consumes a very limited amount of carbohydrates. Some research suggests this diet may have benefits for people with obesity.
However, some experts have questioned the health benefits of the keto diet and called for more research. While it may help you lose weight, there may also be complications.
This article explains how the keto diet may help people lose weight and manage metabolic disease. It also discusses some of the possible drawbacks.
Keto Diet Vs Intermittent Fasting.pptxRahulKotwal6
Intermittent fasting is more flexible than keto when it comes to the types of food you can eat. This increases the pool of available vitamins and minerals obtainable from the diet.
Intermittent fasting can be modified for those who require or desire shorter fasts and is not mandatory to fast every day. Keto is all or nothing: you’re either in ketosis or not and keto requires strict daily adherence.
The presentation provided an overview of the ketogenic diet, including:
- Defining the ketogenic diet and how it works to produce ketone bodies and treat epilepsy.
- Discussing various ketogenic diet protocols like the classic ketogenic diet, MCT oil diet, Modified Atkins Diet, and Low Glycemic Index Treatment Diet.
- Outlining the clinical pathway for initiating and monitoring the ketogenic diet therapy for epilepsy.
- Noting potential side effects, challenges, and nutritional inadequacies of maintaining the restrictive ketogenic diet long-term.
The presentation aimed to educate on the science and evidence behind using ketogenic diets to treat chronic diseases like obesity and type 2

Abstract: Diabetes-specific formulas have shown to be effective at improving glucose control with additional
nutritional benefits. Furthermore, diabetes-specific formulas are commonly used for diabetic patients with
insufficient oral intake. However, not much diabetes-specific formulas in the market shows the GI of these
formulas, which is clinically useful on glycemic control in patients with diabetes. The aim of this study was to
assess the GI of a newly developed diabetes-specific formula, Contro eazy NOW. The open labelled, single center
study involved 11 individuals from a pool of 18 healthy subjects. After an overnight fast, volunteers were given
Contro eazy NOW containing 50g of carbohydrate or the reference drink (glucolin) on different occasions in
random order. Postprandial blood glucose levels were measured in finger pricked capillary blood for two hours
after intake of the beverages and positive incremental area under the curve (AUC) was calculated for both Contro
eazy NOW and reference drink. The GI of Contro eazy NOW was determined by dividing AUC (Contro eazy
NOW) by the AUC (reference drink). The results show that the diabetes-specific formula has the GI of 38.4, which
is categorized as low GI. Therefore, Contro eazy NOW with low GI can be the preferred option for nutritional
management of diabetic patients in need of nutritional support.
Keywords: diabetes-specific formula, diabetes, low glycemic index, medical nutrition therapy.
Consumption of Synbiotic Bread Decreases Triacylglycerol and VLDL Levels Whil...Haleh Hadaegh
Consumption of synbiotic bread containing the probiotic Lactobacillus sporogenes and prebiotic inulin significantly decreased serum triacylglycerol (TAG), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), and the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TC/HDL-C), while significantly increasing serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. No significant effects were seen on fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or non-HDL cholesterol compared to consumption of probiotic or control breads alone over the 8-week period.
The document discusses research on green coffee bean extract for weight loss. It summarizes a study that found supplementing with green coffee bean extract led to significant reductions in body weight, BMI, and body fat over 22 weeks without changes to diet. The study authors concluded the extract may be an effective nutraceutical for weight loss and obesity prevention. The document also reviews other studies and concludes that following instructions for green coffee bean extract correctly poses no risks and may provide health benefits.
This study evaluated the effects of adequate protein intake through dietary counseling or protein supplementation on sarcopenic older adults. 56 sarcopenic participants were provided either dietary counseling to encourage protein intake of 1.2-1.5 g/kg body weight per day or an isocaloric protein supplement containing whey protein, leucine and vitamin D. Both groups experienced increases in muscle mass and strength after 12 weeks. However, the supplement group achieved higher protein intake and saw greater improvements in walking speed for those under age 75. The study suggests protein supplementation is a convenient way for sarcopenic older adults to meet protein requirements and may provide additional benefits for physical performance in younger older groups.
The document discusses using a ketogenic diet to treat cancer. It begins by outlining previous research showing that cancer cells rely primarily on glucose for fuel, unlike normal cells which can use ketone bodies. The document then summarizes several studies that found: 1) a calorie-restricted ketogenic diet significantly decreased tumor growth and improved survival in mouse models; 2) ketone bodies inhibit the viability of neuroblastoma cells; and 3) a ketogenic diet may improve quality of life for advanced cancer patients with no severe side effects. Overall, the document suggests that a ketogenic diet may be a viable non-toxic therapy for some cancers by starving the tumors of their preferred fuel source, glucose.
The keto diet is a low carb, high fat diet that puts the body into a metabolic state called ketosis. It involves drastically reducing carb intake and replacing it with fat to lower blood sugar and insulin levels and shift metabolism away from carbs and toward fat and ketones. Several versions of the keto diet exist, but the standard version is the most researched and recommended. Entering ketosis requires limiting carbs to 20-50g per day through diet and intermittent fasting. Potential benefits include weight loss, improved blood sugar control for diabetes, reduced risk factors for heart disease and cancer, and better management of neurological conditions like epilepsy.
Low-carbohydrate diets have been suggested to help treat diabetes, but multiple meta-analyses and studies have found them to be largely ineffective. Studies show little to no difference in weight loss, blood sugar levels, or other health factors between low-carb and higher-carb diets for diabetics. Low-carb diets also reduce satiety and are difficult for patients to maintain long-term. While carbohydrate counting in children with type 1 diabetes led to some improvements, it did not provide significant benefits and is not an effective overall treatment approach.
This document discusses the potential role of ketogenic diets in eliminating or reducing the need for medical treatment in various diseases. It summarizes that ketogenic diets, which are very low in carbohydrates and higher in fats, induce a metabolic state called ketosis. Studies show that ketosis may help treat diseases like epilepsy, obesity, diabetes, and neurological and cardiovascular conditions by improving metabolic pathways and biomarkers. The document reviews the evidence and possible mechanisms for how ketogenic diets may help treat diseases, including reducing appetite and fat accumulation, improving lipid profiles, and reducing insulin resistance. However, more research is still needed to fully understand their long-term effects and therapeutic potential.
There are several versions of the ketogenic diet, with the standard ketogenic diet being the most researched. The keto diet involves drastically lowering carb intake and replacing it with fat to put the body into a state called ketosis, where it burns fat for energy instead of carbs. This can help with weight loss, reducing blood sugar and insulin levels. A keto diet restricts high carb foods like grains and sugars while focusing on meat, fish, eggs, butter, oils and low carb veggies. It may provide health benefits for issues like diabetes, heart disease and neurological disorders.

Abstract: Glycemic index (GI) describes the blood glucose response after consumption of a carbohydrate
containing test food relative to a carbohydrate containing reference food, typically glucose or white bread. GI was
originally designed for people with diabetes as a guide to food selection, and advice being given to select foods with
a low GI. Nonetheless low GI food should not be limited to diabetes patients but healthy individuals too as more
recent recommendations on the potential of low GI diets to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and to treat other
metabolic syndromes. This study aims to evaluate the GI of 2 oral nutritional supplements, Metabolic Recovery
and Metabolic Relievve in healthy adults. Fasted subjects consumed one of the 2 oral nutritional supplements at
each visit, with a two day wash out period between visits. Every subject received both oral nutritional supplements
and blood glucose at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 mins were measured after the consumption of oral nutritional
supplements which all containing 50g carbohydrates per serving. The trapezium method was used to compute the
area under the curve for blood glucose and GI of both oral nutritional supplements were determined with
reference to glucolin. The results show that both oral nutritional supplements has low GI, with Metabolic Recovery
having the GI of 46.7 ± 16.4 and Metabolic Relievve with GI of 45.2 ± 16.4. Therefore, both Metabolic Recovery
and Metabolic Relievve can be the preferred option for nutritional management of diabetic patients and healthy
individuals in need of nutritional support.

This document discusses ketogenic enteral nutrition (KEN) as a treatment for obesity. It describes a study of over 19,000 obese patients who underwent 10-day cycles of receiving 50-65 grams of protein per day via continuous nasogastric tube infusion, without any carbohydrates. This protocol resulted in an average weight loss of 10.2 kg over 2.5 cycles, with 57% of the loss being fat mass. No significant adverse effects occurred. KEN is concluded to be a safe, fast, and inexpensive treatment that provides good long-term weight maintenance results.
The low FODMAP diet for irritable bowel syndrome: from evidence to practice Robin Allen
At the end of this session, participants will
be able to:
– Describe the mechanisms of action and
evidence for the use of the low FODMAP diet
in patients with irritable bowel syndrome
– Be familiar with the concepts of the 3 phases
for implementing the low FODMAP diet
– Discuss ways in which the diet could be
modified to suit the needs of the individual
In a randomized trial comparing low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets in patients with type 2 diabetes, both diets produced similar weight loss over 2 years but glycemic control improved more with low-carbohydrate. Low-carbohydrate increased HDL cholesterol levels but had no other effects on lipids or blood pressure. While glycemic control benefits were transient, low-carbohydrate was not shown to have metabolic risks even with higher saturated fat intake.
The ketogenic diet, often referred to as keto, is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that has been shown to help some people lose weight. The ketogenic diet has been studied for its potential benefits in weight loss, managing diabetes, and even some neurological disorders like epilepsy. However, it's essential to note that the ketogenic diet may not be suitable for everyone. Before starting any drastic diet change like keto, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

metabolic syndromes. This study aims to evaluate the GI of 2 oral nutritional supplements, Metabolic Recovery
and Metabolic Relievve in healthy adults. Fasted subjects consumed one of the 2 oral nutritional supplements at
each visit, with a two day wash out period between visits. Every subject received both oral nutritional supplements
and blood glucose at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 mins were measured after the consumption of oral nutritional
supplements which all containing 50g carbohydrates per serving. The trapezium method was used to compute the
area under the curve for blood glucose and GI of both oral nutritional supplements were determined with
reference to glucolin. The results show that both oral nutritional supplements has low GI, with Metabolic Recovery
having the GI of 46.7 ± 16.4 and Metabolic Relievve with GI of 45.2 ± 16.4. Therefore, both Metabolic Recovery
and Metabolic Relievve can be the preferred option for nutritional management of diabetic patients and healthy
individuals in need of nutritional support.

This document discusses ketogenic enteral nutrition (KEN) as a treatment for obesity. It describes a study of over 19,000 obese patients who underwent 10-day cycles of receiving 50-65 grams of protein per day via continuous nasogastric tube infusion, without any carbohydrates. This protocol resulted in an average weight loss of 10.2 kg over 2.5 cycles, with 57% of the loss being fat mass. No significant adverse effects occurred. KEN is concluded to be a safe, fast, and inexpensive treatment that provides good long-term weight maintenance results.
The low FODMAP diet for irritable bowel syndrome: from evidence to practice Robin Allen
At the end of this session, participants will
be able to:
– Describe the mechanisms of action and
evidence for the use of the low FODMAP diet
in patients with irritable bowel syndrome
– Be familiar with the concepts of the 3 phases
for implementing the low FODMAP diet
– Discuss ways in which the diet could be
modified to suit the needs of the individual
In a randomized trial comparing low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets in patients with type 2 diabetes, both diets produced similar weight loss over 2 years but glycemic control improved more with low-carbohydrate. Low-carbohydrate increased HDL cholesterol levels but had no other effects on lipids or blood pressure. While glycemic control benefits were transient, low-carbohydrate was not shown to have metabolic risks even with higher saturated fat intake.
The ketogenic diet, often referred to as keto, is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that has been shown to help some people lose weight. The ketogenic diet has been studied for its potential benefits in weight loss, managing diabetes, and even some neurological disorders like epilepsy. However, it's essential to note that the ketogenic diet may not be suitable for everyone. Before starting any drastic diet change like keto, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

Having more clarity about helps one become a better.docxstudywriters
Having clarity about their values helps a leader be more consistent and make better decisions. When a leader shares their values with their team, it shows the team what to expect from the leader and what the leader expects of them. An effective leader finds their unique leadership style that fully embraces their own values, rather than copying another leader's style. While a leader should be committed to their own values, they should also understand that team members may have different values and priorities. Valuing collaboration helps create a team where everyone's ideas are valued.
Is prostitution morally Should we legalize.docxstudywriters
This document asks a series of questions about the morality and legalization of prostitution, as well as supporting a child with intellectual differences in their sexuality and relationships. Specifically, it asks whether prostitution is morally wrong and if it should be legalized, detailing the potential pros and cons, and also inquiring about fears or concerns in allowing a child with intellectual differences to express their sexuality through marriage and children.
This document outlines an argument for whether moral anger exists. It presents three supporting arguments and one counter argument. The first supporting argument claims that if moral anger exists, then moral facts exist, and moral anger does exist as evidenced by sources. The counter argument states anger is not necessarily moral, but the reply argues that anger towards injustice is a reaction to a lack of moral concern for others, making it moral. The second supporting argument says if moral facts exist, then moral realist theses are valid, and anger towards being morally diminished is a moral fact. The final argument concludes that if a single moral fact exists, such as anger, then moral realist theses are sound.
Is Price gouging criminal or is it the free market.docxstudywriters
Price gouging during natural disasters is still morally and economically wrong according to the document. While free markets are typically efficient, disasters cause markets to break down completely in impacted areas that cannot be physically accessed. Natural disasters are also usually short-term events that market forces cannot rapidly respond to. When access to essential resources like water and fuel are limited after a disaster, relying on price gouging would direct scarce supplies only to those who can pay rather than based on needs.
is never total and never The Social.docxstudywriters
Socialization is an ongoing process that occurs throughout one's life. Primary socialization occurs during childhood through interactions with family and influences a person's basic values and behaviors. Secondary socialization continues into adulthood through school, work, and other social institutions and leads to the adoption of social roles. A lack of socialization can negatively impact cognitive development in children and adults as social interactions are important for learning and maintaining cognitive function. Socialization is never complete as people encounter new social groups and contexts throughout their lives that require ongoing learning and adjustment.

1. Discussion: Controlled dietary measure
Discussion: Controlled dietary measureDiscussion: Controlled dietary
measureww.intarchmed.com and www.medbrary.com Abstract Background: Although the
focus of scientific studies on the bene – ficial properties of chocolate with a high cocoa
content has increased in recent years, studies determining its importance for weight regula
– tion, in particular within the context of a controlled dietary measure, have rarely been
conducted. Methodology: In a study consisting of several weeks, we divided men and
women between the ages of 19-67 into three groups. One group was instructed to keep a
low-carb diet and to consume an additional daily serving of 42 grams of chocolate with 81%
cocoa content (chocolate group). Another group was instructed to follow the same low-carb
diet as the chocolate group, but without the chocolate intervention (low-carb group). In
addition, we asked a third group to eat at their own discretion, with unrestricted choice of
food. At the beginning of the study, all participants received exten – sive medical advice and
were thoroughly briefed on their respective diet. At the beginning and the end of the study,
each participant gave a blood sample. Their weight, BMI, and waist-to-hip ratio were
determined and noted. In addition to that, we evaluated the Giessen Subjective Complaints
List. During the study, participants were en – couraged to weigh themselves on a daily basis,
assess the quality of their sleep as well as their mental state, and to use urine test strips.
Result: Subjects of the chocolate intervention group experienced the easiest and most
successful weight loss. Even though the measu – rable effect of this diet occurred with a
delay, the weight reduction of this group exceeded the results of the low-carb group by 10%
after only three weeks (p = 0.04). While the weight cycling effect already occurred after a
few weeks in the low-carb group, with resulting weight gain in the last fifth of the
observation period, the chocolate group experienced a steady increase in weight loss. This
is confirmed by the evaluation of the ketone reduction. Initially, ke – chocolate with high c

3. this study, the grouping of the participants was unforeseeable.Interventions / Measures
Participants were assigned to the following groups:low-carb diet plus high cocoa content
chocolate (chocolate group), low-carb diet (low-carb group), and the control group. The
participants of the chocolate group were told to eat as many low-carbohydrate foods as
possible, and to increase the protein and fat content of their diet. Additionally, they were
given 875 grams of chocolate with a cocoa content of 81 percent. They were asked to
consume a daily dose of 42 grams of chocolate in addition to the low-carb diet. Over a
period of three weeks, 100 percent of the subjects adhered to this requirement. The
participants of the low-carb group were ins – tructed to change their diet to a low-
carbohydrate diet. Concerning the diet, their instructions were ab – solutely identical with
those of the chocolate group. Nutrition interventions that apply a low-carbohy – drate diet
are currently the most applied approach to a weight-loss diet, which is particularly recom –
mended in the S3-guidelines on “Prevention and Treatment of Obesity.” [13] Participants in
the control group were encouraged to continue their previous eating habits. It should be
noted that the study was conducted in early January, after the Christmas / New Year
celebrations. Testing Methods In addition to the continuous measurement of weight
development, participants were asked to do routine testing of the urine with
multiparameter strips on a daily basis by using test strips, and to do – cument their mental
state and their sleep behavior. At the beginning and end of the study, a blood test was
conducted; weight, BMI, and waist-to-hip ratio were documented; and the Giessen Subjec –
tive Complaints List, which measures the change in well-being on a scientifically sound
basis, was evaluated. [14] The main focus within the blood parameters was on the changes
in lipid levels and liver values, as well as the possible increased amount of protein in the
blood. Previous studies have shown that a unilateral low-carb diet can lead to some
dramatic changes in the albumin value. [15] Concerning the evaluations, we took into
consideration changes of cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, ALT, GGT/GGTP, and
the albumin. Additionally, we observed the changes of ketone reduction in urine.

Weight Development Both the participants of the chocolate group and the low-carb group
lost weight, whereas the con – trol group gained weight during the study period.The
subjects of the low-carb group lost 3.1 percent of their body weight in 21 days and the
chocolate group lost 3.2 percent. The participants of the con – trol group were on average
