Comparison of low calorie high protein and low calorie standard protein diet on waist circumference of adults with visceral obesity and weight cycling.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Many individuals with visceral obesity who previously had succeeded in reducing body weight regain and this loss-gain cycle repeats several times which is called as weight cycling. We aimed to evaluate the effect of a low calorie high protein diet (HP) compared to a low calorie standard protein diet (SP) on waist circumference of visceral obese adults with history of weight cycling.

Results

In this open-randomized clinical trial, participants were asked to follow dietary plan with reduction in daily caloric intake ranging from 500 to 1000 kcal from usual daily amount with minimum daily amount of 1000 kcal for 8 weeks and were divided in two groups: HP group with protein as 22-30% total calorie intake; and SP group with protein as 12-20% total calorie intake. There was a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001) between waist circumference before and after the dietary intervention among both groups. Meanwhile, there was no statistically significant difference in the mean reduction of waist circumference between HP and SP groups (P = 0.073). Taken together, the protein proportion does not significantly affected waist circumference. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03374150, 11 December 2017.

Project description:Background: Currently the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is based on weight loss through lifestyle changes, such as exercise combined with calorie-restricted dieting. Objectives: To assess the effects of a commercially available weight loss program based on a very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) on visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and liver fat content compared to a standard low-calorie (LC) diet. As a secondary aim, we evaluated the effect on liver stiffness measurements. Methods: Open, randomized controlled, prospective pilot study. Patients were randomized and treated either with an LC or a VLCKD and received orientation and encouragement to physical activity equally for both groups. VAT, liver fat fraction, and liver stiffness were measured at baseline and after 2 months of treatment using magnetic resonance imaging. Paired t-tests were used for comparison of continuous variables between visits and unpaired test between groups. Categorical variables were compared using the χ2-test. Pearson correlation was used to assess the association between VAT, anthropometric measures, and hepatic fat fraction. A significance level of the results was established at p < 0.05. Results: Thirty-nine patients (20 with VLCKD and 19 with LC) were evaluated at baseline and 2 months of intervention. Relative weight loss at 2 months was -9.59 ± 2.87% in the VLCKD group and -1.87 ± 2.4% in the LC group (p < 0.001). Mean reductions in VAT were -32.0 cm2 for VLCKD group and -12.58 cm2 for LC group (p < 0.05). Reductions in liver fat fraction were significantly more pronounced in the VLCKD group than in the LC group (4.77 vs. 0.79%; p < 0.005). Conclusion: Patients undergoing a VLCKD achieved superior weight loss, with significant VAT and liver fat fraction reductions when compared to the standard LC diet. The weight loss and rapid mobilization of liver fat demonstrated with VLCKD could serve as an effective alternative for the treatment of NAFLD.

Project description:ImportanceResearch investigating weight loss and mortality risk often fails to differentiate between intentional and unintentional weight loss and typically uses body mass index (BMI) as the measure of excess body weight.ObjectiveTo evaluate associations between weight loss and waist circumference (WC) reduction and mortality, considering weight loss intentionality.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study used data from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study, which had a prospective cohort with mean follow-up of 18.6 years ending in February 2023. The study included women aged 50 to 79 years at 40 clinical centers in the US. Women with missing data, cancer at baseline, or considered underweight at baseline were excluded. Data were collected from September 1993 to February 2023 and were analyzed from June to December 2024.ExposuresMeasured weight loss and WC reduction between baseline and year 3, stratified by women who reported intentional weight loss or not.Main outcomes and measuresOutcomes included adjudicated all-cause, cancer, cardiovascular, and other mortality through the end of follow-up. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the associations (hazard ratios [HRs] and 95% CIs) between weight loss, WC reduction, and mortality over 18.6 years of follow-up.ResultsThis study included 58 961 women at baseline (mean [SD] age, 63.3 [7.2] years; mean [SD] BMI, 27.0 [5.6]; mean [SD] WC, 84.1 [13.0] cm). As of February 28, 2023, 29 183 women (49.5%) died from all causes. Intentional weight loss measured by questionnaire was associated with lower subsequent mortality rates for all-cause mortality (HR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.86-0.90), cancer mortality (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.82-0.92), cardiovascular mortality (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.83-0.91), and other mortality (HR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.86-0.92), comparing loss of 5 pounds or more to stable weight. Reported intentional weight loss coupled with actual weight reduction of 5% or more was associated only with lower cardiovascular mortality (HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.81-0.99). Reported intentional weight loss coupled with measured WC loss was associated with lower rates of all-cause mortality (HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.86-0.95), cancer mortality (HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.76-0.95), and cardiovascular mortality (HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.72-0.87). Unintentional weight loss or unintentional WC loss were each associated with increased mortality risk for all groups, as were weight gain and WC gain.Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study, reported intentional weight loss efforts that were coupled with measured WC reductions were associated with lower risk of all-cause, cancer, and cardiovascular mortality. Attention to diet and exercise that promote reductions in central adiposity should be encouraged.
