“…Other MR plans have shown much less favorable results; in one, only a 2.9% decrease in body fat was reported over the same period in a sample with a similar baseline BMI [36]. In another study comparing a MR program and a structured diet and exercise program, % body fat decreases were only 0.6% and 1.4% respectively after 22 weeks [37].…”

Objective: A chart review was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Medifast (MD) meal replacement (MR) plan in a Medifast Weight Control Center (MWCC) on body weight, body composition, and other health measures at 4, 12, 24 weeks, and final weight loss visit. Methods: Charts included adults aged 18 -70 (n = 446) with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 who attended one of three MWCCs and were following the MD MR program. Data were collected electronically and included weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse, lean muscle mass (LMM), body fat mass, % body fat, and abdominal circumference. Compliance measures included attendance at weekly visits, intake of MRs and supplements, food journals, and ketone testing. Results: Significant weight loss and % weight loss were achieved at all time points with clinically significant weight loss (>5%) occurring in just 4 weeks. Additionally, significant improvements in body composition were seen at all time points coupled with increases in % total body weight as LMM (% LMM improved by 3.5%, 9.8%, 16.0%, and 13.9%, respectively). Blood pressure and pulse were significantly improved, demonstrating the clinical benefit for clients. Multivariate regression revealed a strong inverse relationship between weight change, % compliance with attendance, and the number of weeks that MRs were taken as recommended as well as a positive association with number of ketone tests. Conclusion: The MD MR plan, combined with the support and accountability available in the MWCC, is an efficacious program that promotes significant weight loss and improvements in body composition. These results reveal significant associations between components of compliance and weight loss, but particularly highlight the importance of attendance, a focus of the MWCC model compared to non-clinic models.

“…Previous research has demonstrated that this dietary intervention in sedentary obese women resulted in a 300-to 500-kcal-per-day reduction in energy intake as well as signifi cant differences in carbohydrate and protein macronutrient intake, leading to a 3-to 5-kg weight loss over a 10-week period. 2,4,26 Exercise Intervention All subjects participated in a supervised exercise program 3 days per week during the 10-week protocol (workout total, 15 hours). Each circuit-style workout consisted of 14 exercises (eg, elbow fl exion/extension, knee fl exion/ extension, shoulder press/lateral pull, hip abductor/adductor, chest press/seated row, horizontal leg press, squat, abdominal crunch/back extension, pec deck, oblique, shoulder shrug/ dip, hip extension, side bends, and stepping).…”

“…2,4,26 As a result, we have developed a relatively large database, which can further examine the impact of different diet interventions designed to promote weight loss on health outcomes in individuals with various risk factors. An article by Noakes et al 6 reported that individuals with triglyceride levels above median levels experienced greater weight loss and reductions in triglyceride levels when following an HP diet.…”

“…The disconnect between advocacy and practice is important, as moderate levels of PA are a consistent recommendation for the treatment of MetS, and the combination of diet with aerobic and strength training all play a role in MetS treatment (Carroll and Dudfield 2004;Earnest et al 2014). Recent data from our group show that a structured PA program promoted greater weight loss and improvement in health markers than a nonstructured program (Kreider et al 2011). Further, we recently demonstrated similar improvements in MetS for participants presenting with type 2 diabetes following 9 months of aerobic and aerobic plus resistance training concurrent with public health policy recommendations .…”

While commercial dietary weight-loss programs typically advise exercise, few provide actual programing. The goal of this study was to compare the Curves Complete 90-day Challenge (CC, n = 29), which incorporates exercising and diet, to programs advocating exercise (Weight Watchers Points Plus (WW, n = 29), Jenny Craig At Home (JC, n = 27), and Nutrisystem Advance Select (NS, n = 28)) or control (n = 20) on metabolic syndrome (MetS) and weight loss. We randomized 133 sedentary, overweight women (age, 47 ± 11 years; body mass, 86 ± 14 kg; body mass index, 35 ± 6 kg/m 2 ) into respective treatment groups for 12 weeks. Data were analyzed using chi square and general linear models adjusted for age and respective baseline measures. Data are means ± SD or mean change ± 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We observed a significant trend for a reduction in energy intake for all treatment groups and significant weight loss for all groups except control: CC (−4.32 kg; 95% CI, −5.75, −2.88), WW (−4.31 kg; 95% CI, −5.82, −2.96), JC (−5.34 kg; 95% CI, −6.86, −3.90), NS (−5.03 kg; 95% CI, −6.49, −3.56), and control (0.16 kg, 95% CI, −1.56, 1.89). Reduced MetS prevalence was observed at follow-up for CC (35% vs. 14%, adjusted standardized residuals (adjres.) = 3.1), but not WW (31% vs. 28% adjres. = 0.5), JC (37% vs. 42%, adjres. = −0.7), NS (39% vs. 50% adjres. = −1.5), or control (45% vs. 55% adjres. = −1.7). While all groups improved relative fitness (mL·kg −1 ·min −1 ) because of weight loss, only the CC group improved absolute fitness (L/min). In conclusion, commercial programs offering concurrent diet and exercise programming appear to offer greater improvements in MetS prevalence and cardiovascular function after 12 weeks of intervention.Key words: diet, exercise, metabolic syndrome.Résumé : Les programmes commerciaux de perte de poids recommandent généralement la pratique de l'exercice physique, mais peu offre une programmation réelle. Comparer sur les plans du syndrome métabolique (« MetS ») et de la perte de poids le programme Curves Complete 90-day Challenge (« CC », n = 29) qui incorpore une diète et des exercices physiques aux programmes qui recommandent l'exercice physique : Weight Watchers Points Plus (« WW », n = 29), Jenny Craig At Home (« JC », n = 27) et Nutrisystem Advance Select (« NS », n = 28) ou contrôle (n = 20). On répartit aléatoirement 133 femmes sédentaires et en surpoids (âge, 47 ± 11 ans; masse corporelle, 86 ± 14 kg; indice de masse corporelle, 35 ± 6 kg/m 2 ) dans les groupes de traitement respectif pour une période de 12 semaines. On effectue l'analyse du chi-carré et on utilise les modèles linéaires généraux ajustés à l'âge et aux mesures initiales respectives. Les données présentées sont la moyenne ± l'écart-type et la variation moyenne ± intervalle de confiance (IC) 95 %. Les résultats révèlent une tendance significative vers une diminution de l'apport énergétique dans tous les groupes de traitement et une perte de poids significative dans tous les groupes à l'exception du groupe de co...
