Effectiveness of Alternative Therapies in Maintaining Weight Loss Achieved by GLP-1 Medications Post-Cessation
The goal of this randomized, controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative therapies (metformin alone, with rapamycin, and with low-dose naltrexone) in maintaining weight loss in patients weaning off GLP-1 medications. The main questions it aims to answer are: Whether the combination of metformin, with or without rapamycin …
The Impact of the Hypnosis on the Loss of Weight at Patients in Failure of Bariatric Surgery
The therapeutic problem of obesity is weight control, a major difficulty, involving a significant change in eating behavior. A number of studies show that there are many factors of resistance to weight loss whether they are physiological, genetic, environmental pressure related, or psychological and behavioral. For some patients, the surgical …
A Behavioural Weight Loss Intervention Delivered in Cardiac Rehabilitation for Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Obesity
One-in-four Canadians will be diagnosed with an abnormal heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (AF) in their lifetime. This is expected to double by 2050, owing to an aging population and increased age- and health behaviour-associated AF risk factors (e.g., poor cardiorespiratory fitness, Type II diabetes, hypertension, and obesity). AF is …
Mediterranean Diet and Weight Loss: Targeting the Bile Acid/Gut Microbiome Axis to Reduce Colorectal Cancer
A Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet), a largely plant-based dietary pattern, is relevant to CRC prevention and microbial production of anti-cancer metabolites in observational studies. A MedDiet can shift BA metabolism as shown in primates and when combined with calorie restriction, shows superior adherence and weight control in humans, given its palatability. …
Effect of Weight Loss on Physical and Cardiac Performance in People With Obesity and Heart Failure
The benefit of weight loss in patients with obesity and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is controversial. Semaglutide has shown cardiovascular (CV) risk-reduction and impact on CV risk factors including overweight, dysglycaemia and hypertension in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The STEP-HFpEF (Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People …
Ketogenic Diets for Weight Loss Maintenance: Impact on Energy Expenditure and Appetite in Individuals With Obesity
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether a Ketogenic Diet (KD) can increase Total Energy Expenditure (TEE), while benefiting appetite, during weight loss maintenance in reduced-obese individuals.
Metabolic and Behavioural Effects of CONTRAVE as Potential Mechanisms of Weight Loss in Adults With Obesity
Obesity is a common chronic disease linked with increased risk for other illnesses and earlier death. Our team and others have shown that many bodily and psychological changes occur when individuals are on calorie-restricted diets. These changes might undermine dietary adherence and help to explain the relatively poor long-term efficacy …
Optimizing an Online Behavioral Weight Loss Intervention and Novel Culturally Tailored Components for Sexual Minority Women
Obesity disproportionately impacts sexual minority women. Behavioral weight loss programs are the gold standard treatment for mild to moderate obesity. The investigators have developed an online behavioral weight loss program that is effective, low-cost, and highly scalable. However, existing research suggests that tailoring treatment to address 3 well-established weight loss …
Impact of Prepartum Intravenous Fluid Intake on Newborn Weight Loss in the First Days of Life
At birth, the infant's weight was measured daily to assess the adequacy of nutritional intake. This indicator can be influenced by various factors related to the mother, her pregnancy, as well as medical interventions during the pre-delivery phase, such as pre-partum maternal fluid intakes, and the subsequent feeding method chosen …
Time-Restricted Eating as a Potential Strategy to Promote Weight Loss Maintenance in Patients With Obesity
While body weight reduction can be achieved through various interventions in people living with obesity, most patients regain a substantial proportion of the lost weight within the following months. There is a lack of effective interventions to prevent this regain, making weight regain one of the most pressing challenges in …
