“…Weight cycling, however, is consistently associated with clinically significant reductions in eating self-efficacy and weak but consistent increases in binge eating severity in young women and obese women 19,24,42) . In several previous studies of young females, weight cycling was also associated with increased habitual unhealthy dieting behaviors or abnormal weight/eating concerns [19][20][21][22][24][25][26]43) . One of the reasons for these inconsistencies by different measures is that, persons who are dieting or intending to lose weight-many are likely to have a weight cycling history-have a trend of underestimating their actual amount of calorie intake, whereas they have more undesirable eating related psycho-behavioral patterns.…”

Background: Epidemiological findings suggest that weight fluctuations are associated with unfavorable health outcomes compared with stable weight. However, the interrelationship between the weight cycling history and dieting status in a non-clinical male trial on the risk for bio-behavioral health is unclear.Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between weight cycling history as a result of intentional weight loss and bio-behavioral health in Japanese adult males.Method: A cross-sectional study was performed on a group of 146 Japanese working males (47.5H9.3 yr.). Each subject completed a series of self-reported questionnaires in which information about weight cycling history, current dieting practices, life-styles, and social background were assessed. Results of the physical check up were used to assess biological parameters. Self-reported weight cycling was defined as intentionally losing 10% of one's weight and regaining the lost weight.Results: Cyclers reported a significantly greater incidence of current dieting and recent weight gain compared with non-cyclers. Taking regular meals, eating breakfast everyday, and not eating snacks between meals every day were significantly less frequent among cyclers compared with non-cyclers after controlling for BMI. The adjusted odds ratio for AST abnormality was 5.46 (95%CI: 1.08−27.67), ALT abnormality was 3.31 (95%CI: 1.24−8.78), and 1-GTP was 3.38 (95%CI: 1.07−10.67) among cyclers, compared with noncyclers.Conclusion: These findings suggest that a history of weight cycling in men, regardless of current weight status, is associated with adverse bio-behavioral health. The risk for several liver enzyme abnormalities associated with weight cycling history was substantial, independent of relative body weight and lifestyle factors.

SummaryThis study investigated the effect of different timings of milk intake on body iron stores and improvement in the dietary habit of female collegiate rhythmic gymnasts. Subjects took iron tablets at both breakfast and dinner times during a weight-loss period. In addition, subjects ingested low-fat milk twice a day either at breakfast or dinner (group I; n= 7), or between meals (group II; n=6) for 3 mo. Blood was collected four times. Red blood cell count, hemoglobin, serum iron, ferritin and erythropoietin concentrations were mea sured. Subjects completed a dietary survey for three consecutive days before each blood sampling. The mean body fat in both groups I and II was significantly lower after 3 mo than at the start of the study (p<0.01). Red blood cell count and hemoglobin of group I were sig nificantly higher as compared to those of group II (p<0.05). Serum iron concentrations and transferrin saturation values remained unchanged in both groups. Serum ferritin concen trations in group I were significantly higher 3 mo after the start of the study, but this was not observed in group II. Energy and carbohydrate intake in group II, but not in group I, were significantly lower after 3 mo as compared to those after 1 and 2 mo as a result of miss ing meals. In conclusion, iron-supplemented meals via milk ingestion did not decrease body iron stores and maintained higher body iron stores compared to a diet that included milk in take between meals. Further, milk intake with meals is related to keeping regular meal times and frequency.
