Summary: Type 2 diabetes can be treated and sometimes reversed through dietary interventions, with community pharmacists providing an effective low-carbohydrate energy-restricted diet intervention. This intervention can reduce the need for glucose-lowering medications, improve cardiometabolic health, and enhance quality of life for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Summary: This study found that higher adherence to the Paleolithic diet was associated with improved blood lipid levels, independent of weight loss. An increase in the ratio of monounsaturated/saturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acids was also linked to lower triglyceride levels.

Summary: This study examined the impact of diet-induced weight loss on levels of the anorexigenic hormone neurotensin (NT) in mice and humans, and whether these levels predict body weight change. The results showed that diet-induced weight loss reduced NT levels in both mice and humans, and regulated hunger-related gene expression in mice. Additionally, individuals who continued to lose weight after weight loss had higher peak NT secretion compared to those who regained weight.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of expanding the scope of remote monitoring to include body weight, blood pressure, and physical activity on weight reduction in OSA patients receiving CPAP therapy. The results showed that multimodal telemonitoring enhanced weight reduction efforts, especially in promoting step counts.

Summary: The study found that interventions with an intensive focus on exercise in behavioral weight loss programs did not significantly increase participants' levels of physical activity or lead to greater long-term weight loss. However, participants engaging in relatively higher levels of physical activity did have better long-term weight loss outcomes. Further clinical innovations are needed to help participants in BWL programs adopt and maintain recommended amounts of physical activity.

Summary: This study identified three user classes based on baseline characteristics and early use patterns, which were associated with long-term adherence. Users with worse baseline health habits and low platform use showed the lowest adherence. Weight loss was not associated with class membership, but users assigned to platform + coach lost more weight than those assigned to platform only.

Summary: This study compared the effects of two aerobic exercise programs of different intensities on energy expenditure in patients with severe obesity. The results showed that patients completing a 24-week combined HIIT/MICT program did not achieve a higher energy expenditure compared with those who completed a 24-week MICT program, but the HIIT/MICT group experienced a significantly larger increase in energy expenditure in the 8- to 16-week period compared to the MICT group.

Summary: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in women, and lifestyle modifications, including weight loss, are crucial for its management. This study evaluated a 12-week integrated lifestyle modification program, facilitated by a mobile application, for overweight women with PCOS. The results showed significant weight loss, improved insulin levels, reduced hirsutism, and decreased depressive symptoms in the treatment group compared to the control group. The study highlights the potential benefits of using a mobile application to support lifestyle modifications in women with PCOS.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of behavioral weight loss (BWL) compared to wait list control (WLC) on hippocampal volume and neurocognition. The results showed that the BWL group lost more weight than the WLC group, but there were no significant differences in changes in hippocampal volume or neurocognition between the two groups. Baseline hippocampal volume and neurocognition were not associated with weight loss.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed randomized controlled trials on the effects of technology-based interventions for weight loss maintenance. The results showed that technology-based interventions had similar weight regain compared to minimum interventions, but led to significantly higher weight regain compared to in-person interventions.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of promoting fruit and vegetable consumption on the body weight of Brazilian primary health care users in the medium and long term. Results showed that there was no significant impact on weight, but individuals with obesity classes II and III who had low adherence to the intervention experienced greater weight loss after 36 months.

Summary: The multimodal Telemedical Lifestyle Intervention Program (TeLIPro) has been proven effective in improving the health-related lifestyle of patients with advanced stages of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), particularly those with longer diabetes duration. This intervention program utilizes telemedical coaching and self-monitoring devices to improve HbA(1c) and quality of life.

Summary: The study compared the effectiveness of using partial meal replacement programs and conventional dietary advice for pre-conception weight loss, finding that women using meal replacements lost an average of 5.4% body weight over 10 weeks, which was higher than those receiving traditional dietary advice. Additionally, women using meal replacements were more likely to achieve pregnancy within 12 months after the 10-week intervention.

Summary: Healthy individuals experience variation in blood pressure over a 24-hour period, with higher levels during wakefulness and lower levels during sleep. Disruption of the blood pressure circadian rhythm has been associated with negative health outcomes such as cardiovascular disease, dementia, and chronic kidney disease. Current approaches to diagnosis and treatment do not adequately consider the circadian rhythmicity of blood pressure. This review summarizes findings from a workshop held by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to identify knowledge gaps and research opportunities related to the study of blood pressure circadian rhythm and chronotherapy for hypertension.

Summary: This study investigated the link between taste perception and eating/sleep patterns, as well as the effect of genetic factors on obesity phenotypes. The study found associations between bitter taste perception and eating patterns, sleep duration, and midpoint. Additionally, significant gene-sleep interactions were observed between sleep time and several genetic variants linked to obesity phenotypes. However, further research is needed to better understand the causality and mechanisms behind these associations.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sleep restriction on insulin sensitivity and energy metabolism in postmenopausal women. The results showed that four nights of sleep restriction reduced insulin sensitivity and fat oxidation in postmenopausal women, highlighting the significant role of insufficient sleep in metabolic dysfunction following menopause.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the prevalence and severity of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in pregnant individuals of different racial/ethnic groups and to investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on the association between race/ethnicity and SDB. The results showed variations in SDB prevalence and severity among different racial/ethnic groups, and overweight/obesity was found to be associated with higher SDB severity.

Summary: Obesity and type 2 diabetes have become increasingly common worldwide, and there is evidence linking short sleep duration to higher rates of these disorders. This review examines the role of sleep in the development of obesity and chronic metabolic disorders, and the potential impact of diet on sleep. The study proposes potential mechanisms and suggests that dietary manipulations, particularly with regard to carbohydrate quality, may improve sleep quality.

Summary: This study assessed the preference for two behavioral weight loss programs (DPP and HWL) in adults with obesity. A cross-sectional survey was conducted, and the results showed no significant difference in the choice of the two programs. Participants' expectations and characteristics were associated with their program choice.

Summary: Obesity in the U.S. is associated with increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Lifestyle interventions and older antiobesity drugs have limited effectiveness in reducing MACE risk, while bariatric surgery shows substantial weight reduction and lower subsequent MACE risk. Newer antiobesity drugs, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, have shown promising efficacy for weight reduction and are being evaluated for their impact on MACE risk in cardiovascular outcomes trials.
