African American women exhibit similar adherence to intervention but lose less weight due to lower energy requirements

Abstract: Adherence to the behavioral intervention was similar in AA and Caucasian women. However, neglecting to account for the lower energy requirements in AA women when calculating the energy prescription resulted in a lower level of calorie restriction and, hence, less body weight loss. Therefore, to achieve similar weight loss in AA women, the prescribed caloric restriction cannot be based on weight alone, but must be lower than in Caucasians, to account for lower energy requirements.

“…Additionally, this study showed that African-American participants lost less total mass and less fat than Caucasian participants. Previous studies have shown similar findings with weight loss interventions [37,38]. In one study, African-American women lost 3.6 kg less weight than Caucasian women matched for initial body weight during 6 months of weight loss intervention, despite similar adherence to the prescribed CR and physical activity [38].…”

In one study, African-American women lost 3.6 kg less weight than Caucasian women matched for initial body weight during 6 months of weight loss intervention, despite similar adherence to the prescribed CR and physical activity [38]. This study again draws attention to the racial disparity in weight loss with a similar intervention.…”

“…Two recent meta-analyses report lower response to behavioral interventions among NH black compared to white women and point to cultural considerations that may improve such results [102, 103•]. A mechanistic study also noted that resting metabolic rate and total daily energy expenditure (adjusted for fat-free mass) are lower in NH black women, and this should be taken into account when calculating the recommended energy intake during calorie restriction programs [104]. Finally, after diet-induced weight loss, overweight NH black women lost less visceral fat compared to white women, although this is probably related to lower initial values [105].…”

“…Posteriormente, una vez que el cuerpo alcance el punto de asentamiento descrito por los mismos autores, el déficit energético continuado debido al ejercicio causará una pérdida de masa libre de grasa, la cual a su vez reduciría la TMB y el GEDT. En la práctica, esta relación podría no funcionar como se esperaría y podría verse complicada por otros factores como la raza (DeLany, et al, 2014). La disminución en la ingesta energética, esto es, "hacer dieta", produciría una disminución en el ETA y también podría provocar una disminución en la actividad física diaria y en el gasto energético diario total (Redman et al, 2009).…”
