Summary: This study compared time-restricted eating (TRE) with calorie restriction (CR) and control group to evaluate their effects on weight control and cardiometabolic risk reduction. The results showed that both TRE and CR were similarly effective in weight loss compared to the control group. However, in a racially diverse population, TRE was not more effective than CR.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the associations between loss of control (LOC) eating and health outcomes in adolescents undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery. LOC eating was found to be positively associated with sleep disturbances and psychiatric medication usage before surgery, while being unexpectedly associated with improved low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and greater back pain after surgery.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of three research-grade accelerometers in step detection and energy expenditure estimation in a laboratory setting, particularly in overweight/obese participants. The results show that the activPAL accelerometer had the most accurate step detection, while all three devices underestimated energy expenditure regardless of speed.

Summary: This study collected data from experts in the field of binge eating disorder to gain insight into the clinical aspects of this disorder. The findings reveal the importance of understanding the relationship between binge eating disorder and obesity, as well as the role of food/eating restriction and emotion dysregulation in the pathology of this disorder. The study also highlights paradigm shifts in the understanding of eating disorders and the need for further research in classification issues.

Summary: This study examined the effects of lifestyle factors on the BMI of Saudi students aged 10-15 years. The results showed that boys had a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity compared to girls, and they were more likely to skip breakfast, sleep longer, and engage in more physical activity. On the other hand, girls were less sedentary and used smartphones more frequently. Using laptops and playing video games were identified as the key sedentary activities that influenced BMI.

Summary: The degree of loss of control over eating is more important than the size of binge episodes in predicting psychological and behavioral outcomes in individuals with binge eating disorder (BED). While greater loss of control is associated with more eating psychopathology and symptoms, larger binge size is linked to higher weight concern and lower quality of life, particularly in terms of general and social aspects.

Summary: This study explores the feasibility and usability of using resting energy expenditure (REE) to guide gestational weight gain (GWG) management in obese and overweight women. The findings suggest that using REE can significantly reduce daily total energy intake, overall GWG, and the percentage of excess-GWG.

Summary: This systematic review examines the sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological features of Night Eating Syndrome (NES) in patients with eating disorders, obesity, or undergoing bariatric surgery. The study found that NES patients have elevated eating disorder pathology and higher occurrence of depressive symptoms compared to controls. The review suggests that NES can be differentiated from Binge Eating Disorder based on factors such as emotional eating, body-related concerns, and abnormal eating episodes.

Summary: Binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa are eating disorders characterized by episodes of overeating, and research suggests a relationship between these disorders and dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota, indicating potential for treatment by targeting the gut microbiota.

Summary: This study investigated body image and body mass anxiety in people with BED and found a correlation between anxiety about gaining weight and the number of BED symptoms, but no significant relationship between BED severity and body image. However, the frequency of BED episodes was linked with weight concern. The findings suggest that anxiety about gaining weight should be considered as a psychological cost for individuals experiencing BED symptoms, and it should be included in future versions of the DSM.

Summary: Nesfatin-1 is a new neuropeptide that regulates hunger/satiety, eating, and affective disorders. The secretion of nesfatin-1 in adipocytes and its relationship with NUCB2 and FTO gene polymorphisms, BMI, Eating Disorders (EDs), and pathological behaviors were investigated. Higher levels of nesfatin-1 were found in hypoxic adipocytes and omental visceral adipose tissue (VAT) of obese individuals. Nesfatin-1 levels were associated with grazing, emotional, sweet, and binge eating, hyperphagia, social eating, and childhood obesity. Obese individuals with certain NUCB2 and FTO gene polymorphisms had higher levels of nesfatin-1.
