Dietary interventions Sample Clauses

Dietary interventions. Dietary interventions are recommended treatment approaches that focus on promoting a balanced diet which should result in a daily energy deficit of 500 to 750 kcal (Xxxxxxxxx et al., 2016). Unduly restrictive and nutritionally unbalanced diets, or fad diets, are not recommended and should be always delivered under medical supervision, if needed (e.g., in circumstances when faster weight loss is required). A recent systematic review of non- surgical weight loss interventions suggested that low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets are the most effective intervention for adults living with overweight or obesity when followed for a period of six months (Twells et al., 2021). The studied low-carbohydrates and low-fat diets included increased intake of dietary pulses, recommended intermittent energy restrictions, and were based on low glycaemic index. Reported findings are consistent, indicating significant weight loss because of these diets, ranging from 1.66kgs to 3.90kgs (Xxxxxxxxxx et al., 2021; Xxxxxx et al., 2018; Xxxxx et al., 2019). One network meta-analysis (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2014) examined the effectiveness of popular self-administered commercial diets in adults living with overweight and/or obesity, including low-carbohydrate diets such as Xxxxxx, Zone, and Weight Watchers and low-fat diets such as Ornish and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx. The meta-analysis included 48 RCTs and reported significant findings in terms of weight loss, while adjusting for behavioural support and weight loss (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2014). Commercial diets resulted in weight loss of 8.73 and 7.25 kgs at 6 and 12 months, respectively. While commercial low-fat diets led to weight losses of 7.99 kgs and 7.27 kgs at 6 and 12 months, respectively. Weight loss differences between individual diets were minimal (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2014). All of the weight loss parameters mentioned above translated to more than 5% of the lost weight from the baseline weight, considered as clinically meaningful outcome (Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxx, & Xxxx, 2015). Limitations of these studies should be noted. Most of the dietary interventions lasted between 3 and 52 weeks and most of the enrolled participants were females. Across all studies, a larger weight loss was reported in the short term (e.g., up to 6 months) compared with long term (e.g., 12 months), suggesting additional support may be needed to support weight maintenance over time. The impact of behavioural support and exercise on weight loss outcomes differed between 6 and 12 mon...
