Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) compared to liraglutide for weight control in obese individuals in Taiwan. The results showed that using CHM led to clinically significant weight loss without serious adverse events, suggesting it as a safe and effective alternative for weight management in real-world settings. Further clinical trials are needed to validate these findings.

Summary: There is individual variability in weight change in response to physical activity interventions. Secondary analyses explored differences in physical activity, dietary intake, and measures of hunger, dietary disinhibition, and dietary restraint in response to different physical activity interventions and by pattern of weight change across 6 months of an intervention. Results showed no differences in weight change, physical activity, dietary intake, and measures of hunger, dietary disinhibition, and dietary restraint between different intervention conditions. However, weight loss was associated with decreases in hunger and increases in flexible dietary restraint compared to weight stability and weight gain.

Summary: The study found that obese individuals performed poorer in short-term phonological memory and working memory, with weight, BMI, waist-hip ratio index, body fat, and visceral fat showing inverse correlations with memory function. Muscle mass was not a significant predictor of memory function, while higher systolic blood pressure was associated with worse memory function.

Summary: Contrary to hypotheses, longer eating windows were associated with a lower adjusted prevalence of obesity and longer evening fasts were associated with a higher prevalence of obesity. Longer morning fast was associated with a higher adjusted prevalence of obesity. Further studies are needed to understand the impact of diet quality/quantity and social desirability bias on the relationship between circadian timing of eating and BMI.

Summary: The effectiveness of coronary artery calcification (CAC) for risk stratification in obesity has not been well studied due to limited imaging. However, this study found a positive correlation between CAC and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in patients with obesity (BMI≥30 kg/m(2)). Therefore, CAC may serve as an effective cardiovascular risk stratification tool for prioritizing weight management therapies.

Summary: Success in long-term weight management relies on psychological and behavioral factors. This study investigates the association between eating self-efficacy (ESE) and various eating behaviors and difficulties in weight management. Participants with low ESE showed lower cognitive restraint (CR) and higher levels of uncontrolled eating (UE), emotional eating (EE), and binge eating (BE) compared to those with high ESE. The risk of low ESE was increased by high levels of UE, EE, and BE in men, and by low CR, high UE, and high EE in women. These findings highlight the importance of considering eating behavior tendencies when counseling individuals with overweight and obesity.

Summary: The study compared patterns of physical activity in weight loss maintainers, controls without obesity, and controls with overweight/obesity across the week and throughout the day. Results showed that weight loss maintainers engaged in high amounts of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity on more days of the week, accumulated more moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity in the morning, and accumulated more moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity in sustained bouts compared to controls.

Summary: This study examined the prevalence of Food Addiction and its associations with psychopathology and weight-related constructs in individuals with overweight and obesity who did not have Binge-Eating-Disorder or Bulimia Nervosa. The results showed that Food Addiction was linked to higher BMI, low self-esteem, impulsive and emotional eating behavior, weight bias internalization, and deficits in food-related inhibitory control. Additionally, correlations were found between Food Addiction and severity of depressive symptoms, internet use disorder, and psychological distress.

Summary: In two daily diary studies, we found that exercise and contextual factors influence the healthiness and amount of food eaten after exercise. Contrary to expectations, post-exercise meals were found to be healthier than random meals from non-exercise days, and participants consumed fewer unhealthy meals on exercise days. Additionally, participants ate larger portions after exercise compared to random meals from non-exercise days.

Summary: This study identified major themes of long-term weight-loss maintenance among a large cohort. Factors triggering weight loss included medical status, appearance, mobility, social prompts, and the need for change. Current motivations for weight-loss maintenance were looking back at experiences at higher weight and health/appearance concerns. The study found that perseverance in the face of setbacks and consistency in tracking were key recommendations for weight-loss maintenance. The rewards for weight management included improved confidence, pain, mobility, fitness, body image, medical status, and affect.
