Americans are cooking fewer meals at home and eating more convenience foods prepared elsewhere. Cooking at home is associated with higher quality diets, while a reduction in cooking may be associated with increases in obesity and risk factors for chronic disease. The aims of this study were to examine cooking as an intervention for weight control in overweight and obese adults, and whether such an intervention increases participants’ food agency and diet quality. Overweight and obese adults were randomized into one of two intervention conditions: active or demonstration. Both conditions received the same 24-week behavioral weight loss intervention, and bi-weekly cooking classes. The active condition prepared a weekly meal during a hands-on lesson, while the demonstration condition observed a chef prepare the same meal. The active condition lost significantly more weight at six months compared with the demonstration condition (7.3% vs. 4.5%). Both conditions saw significant improvements in food agency scores and Healthy Eating Index scores, though no significant differences were noted between groups. The addition of active cooking to a weight management intervention may improve weight loss outcomes, though benefits in diet quality and cooking behaviors may also be seen with the addition of a demonstration-only cooking intervention.

Abstract Introduction Short sleep duration and poor sleep quality have each been associated with obesity and weight gain. However, less is known regarding how sleep may impact attempted weight loss. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between sleep duration and sleep quality, both independently and in combination, with weight loss in a 12-month behavioral weight loss intervention. Methods Young to middle-aged adults who were overweight or obese (N=296) completed a 12-month behavioral weight loss intervention, with weight assessed at baseline, 6 and 12 months. Sleep duration and quality were derived from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Analyses examined the change in sleep over time and the association between baseline sleep and changes in sleep with 6- and 12-month weight loss following adjustment for relevant covariates including age, gender, race, education, baseline body mass index, and baseline risk for sleep apnea. Results Participants (with an average baseline weight of 97.0±1.0 kg) lost 6.6±1.1 kg (6.8%) and 6.7±1.2 kg (6.9%) at 6 and 12 months relative to baseline, respectively. Global sleep quality significantly improved over the 12-month intervention (P=.03), but average sleep duration and the prevalence of short sleep duration (<6 h) or poor sleep quality did not change significantly (each P≥.45). Adults with short sleep duration at baseline lost 3.3±0.9% less weight than those with ≥6 h sleep duration (P<.001). Adults with poor sleep quality at baseline lost 1.6±0.8% less weight than those with good sleep quality (P=.04). When considered together, adults with both short sleep duration and poor sleep quality lost at least 5.0% less weight compared with all other sleep duration/quality group combinations (P<.001). Conclusion Our findings highlight the importance of both sleep duration and sleep quality as predictors of behavioral weight loss and suggest that screening for sleep disturbance may be useful to determine who may benefit from additional counseling and resources.

The aim of the present study was to analyse the agreement of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) compared with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and MRI in estimating body fat, skeletal muscle and visceral fat during a 12-month weight loss intervention. A total of nineteen obese adults (twelve females, seven males) aged 20·2–48·6 years, mean BMI 34·6 (se 0·6) kg/m2, participated in the study. Body fat, skeletal muscle and visceral fat index were measured by BIA (Omron BF-500; Omron Medizintechnik) and compared with DXA (body fat and skeletal muscle) at baseline, 5 and 12 months, and with MRI (visceral fat) at baseline and 5 months. The subjects lost 8·9 (se 1·8) kg (9·0 (se 1·7) %) of body weight during the 12-month intervention. BIA, as compared to DXA, accurately assessed loss of fat (7·0 (se 1·5) v. 7·0 (se 1·4) kg, P= 0·94) and muscle (1·0 (se 0·2) v. 1·4 (se 0·3) kg, P= 0·18). While body fat was similar by the two methods, skeletal muscle was underestimated by 1–2 kg using BIA at each time point. Compared to MRI, BIA overestimated visceral fat, especially in males. BIA and DXA showed high correlations for kg fat, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally (r 0·91–0·99). BIA, compared with DXA and MRI, detected kg muscle and visceral fat more accurately cross-sectionally (r 0·77–0·87 and r 0·40–0·78, respectively) than their changes longitudinally (r 0·24–0·61 and r 0·46, respectively). BIA is at its best when assessing the amount or changes in fat mass. It is a useful method for measuring skeletal muscle, but limited in its ability to measure visceral fat.

Asthmatic Children

The prevalence of obesity in asthmatic children is high and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. We have previously reported that weight loss leads to improvements in lung function and asthma control in obese asthmatic children. The objectives of this secondary analysis were to examine: (1) changes in diet quality and (2) associations between the baseline subject characteristics and the degree of weight loss following the intervention. Twenty-eight obese asthmatic children, aged 8–17 years, completed a 10-week diet-induced weight loss intervention. Dietary intake, nutritional biomarkers, anthropometry, lung function, asthma control, and clinical outcomes were analysed before and after the intervention. Following the intervention, the body mass index (BMI) z-score decreased (Δ = 0.18 ± 0.04; p < 0.001), %energy from protein increased (Δ = 4.3 ± 0.9%; p = 0.002), and sugar intake decreased (Δ = 23.2 ± 9.3 g; p= 0.025). Baseline lung function and physical activity level were inversely associated with Δ% fat mass. The ΔBMI z-score was negatively associated with physical activity duration at baseline. Dietary intervention is effective in achieving acute weight loss in obese asthmatic children, with significant improvements in diet quality and body composition. Lower lung function and physical engagement at baseline were associated with lesser weight loss, highlighting that subjects with these attributes may require greater support to achieve weight loss goals.

AbstractThe post-lunch dip in cognition is a well-established phenomenon of decreased alertness, memory and vigilance after lunch consumption. Lunch composition reportedly influences the post-lunch dip. Moreover, dieting is associated with cognitive function impairments. The negative effects of dieting have been reversed with nut-supplemented diets. The aims of this study were to (1) evaluate the acute effect of an almond-enriched high-fat lunch or high-carbohydrate lunch on the post-lunch decline in cognitive function, and (2) evaluate the effects of chronic almond consumption as part of an energy-restricted diet on the memory and attention domains of cognitive function. In total, eighty-six overweight and obese adults were randomised to consume either an almond-enriched diet (AED) or a nut-free control diet (NFD) over a 12-week weight loss intervention. Participants were also randomised to receive either an almond-enriched high-fat lunch (A-HFL) (>55 % energy from fat, almonds contributing 70–75 % energy) or a high-carbohydrate lunch (HCL) (>85 % energy from carbohydrates) at the beginning and end of the weight loss intervention. Memory and attention performance indices decreased after lunch consumption (P<0·001). The A-HFL group ameliorated the decline in memory scores by 57·7 % compared with the HCL group (P=0·004). Both lunch groups had similar declines in attention. Moreover, memory and attention performance indices increased after the 12-week intervention period (P<0·05) with no difference between the AED and NFD groups. In conclusion, almond consumption at a midday meal can reduce the post-lunch dip in memory. However, long-term almond consumption may not further improve cognitive function outcomes in a weight loss intervention.

Abstract Objectives A higher protein diet can be a successful approach to weight loss and improved health outcomes. However, the effect of a higher protein diet on other foods in the diet is not known. Evidence suggests diet quality scores provide a comprehensive representation of dietary intake and the complex interconnected nature of nutrient intake. In this study, the objective was to examine the effect of protein intake during moderate weight loss using four diet quality scores in overweight and obese adults. Methods Overweight and obese adults (n = 235) were counseled, bimonthly, to reduce energy intake over 6 months following the ADA food lists. The diets were individualized so range of macronutrient intake varied, but all individuals were encouraged to consume &gt; 0.8 g/kg protein. Dietary intake was assessed and validated at baseline and ≥ 6 days during the intervention. In addition to the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI), Mediterranean Diet Quality Score (MDS), and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet quality score (DASH) were adjusted for energy intake and used to calculate diet quality. Results Subjects (55 ± 11 years) were overweight and obese (BMI 28.9 ± 4.0 kg/m2) and consumed 17.5 ± 5.3% energy from protein at baseline. During the intervention, subjects lost 4.5 ± 5.4% body weight, with a 333 ± 605 kcal deficit and 18.7 ± 3.5% protein intake. During the intervention, only the HEI score correlated with protein intake (r = 0.240, P &lt; 0.001); however, all scoring methods (HEI AHEI, MDS, DASH) showed consistent patterns of food groups changing with higher protein intake. As expected, there was greater intake of meat, but also intake of vegetables. In addition, diet quality scores that measured dairy (HEI, DASH, MDS), unsaturated fatty acids (AHEI, MDS) and sodium (HEI, AHEI) showed an increase with higher protein intake. Conclusions In individuals following a weight loss diet, higher protein intake consistently altered dietary patterns of low-protein food components including higher intake of vegetables, unsaturated fat, and sodium. In an overweight and obese population with no comorbidities, HEI, AHEI, MDS, and DASH diet scores are effective methods of measuring diet quality and food patterns during moderate weight loss.
