“…All measurements of quite a large sample were addressed within a short period of 14 days. The investigated WFPB lifestyle program was already confirmed in two of our previous intervention-type studies to be effective for BM normalization as well as the short and medium term management of several CVD risk factors [28,44]. This study confirmed the previously shown health benefits to have a long-lasting effect.…”

Failure of various weight-loss programs and long-term maintenance of favorable body composition in all kinds of people is high, since the majority go back to old dietary patterns. Many studies have documented the efficacy of a plant-based diet (PBD) for body mass management, but there are opinions that maintaining a PBD is difficult. We aimed to evaluate the long-term success of a whole-food plant-based (WFPB) lifestyle program. We investigated the differences in the obesity indices and lifestyle of 151 adults (39.6 ± SD 12.5 years), who were on our program for short (0.5–<2 years), medium (2–<5 years), or long term (5–10 years). Body-composition changes were favourable for all three groups, both genders and all participants. There were no differences in relative body-composition changes (BMI, body fat percentage and muscle mass index (MMI)) between the three groups. All participants improved their BMI (baseline mean pre-obesity BMI range (kg/m2): 26.4 ± 5.6 to normal 23.9 ± 3.8, p < 0.001), decreased body mass (–7.1 ± 8.3 kg, p < 0.001) and body fat percentage (–6.4 ± 5.6 % points, p < 0.001). 85.6% (101 out of 118) of parents of underage children (< 18 years), introduced WFPB lifestyle to their children. Those with the highest BMI at baseline lost the most of: a) BMI units, b) total body mass and c) body fat (a) (kg/m2) (–5.6 ± SD 2.9, –2.4 ± 1.8 and –0.9 ± 1.5), b) (kg) (–16.1 ± SD 8.8, –7.1 ± 5.4 and –2.5 ± 4.5) and c) (% points) (–9.5 ± SD 5.7, –6.6 ± 4.6 and –4.7 ± 5.3) for participants who had baseline BMI in obese, overweight and normal range, respectively; pbaseline vs. current < 0.001 for all). WFPB lifestyle program provides long-term lifestyle changes for reversal of obesity and is effective transferred to the next generation.

“…With such an extensive lifestyle program based on WFPB diet, it may be easier to maintain healthier long-term normal body mass, body composition, and health. Previously we reported the effects of our WFPB lifestyle program on body-composition indices during 10-weeks [44], and cardiovascular risk factors during 10-36 weeks [28].…”

“…As clinicians working with obese CKD patients became aware of the shortcomings involved in classic calorie-restricted diets, different approaches were developed, including qualitative, ad libitum diets, in which unrestricted quantities of specific aliments are allowed, often in a dissociated way (i.e., one aliment at a time), and coach-assisted diets, in which compliance is reinforced by a close relationship with one individual (the coach) who acts as a counsellor and checks that the diet is being followed [ 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ].…”

In advanced chronic kidney disease, obesity may bring a survival advantage, but many transplant centres demand weight loss before wait-listing for kidney graft. The case here described regards a 71-year-old man, with obesity-related glomerulopathy; referral data were: weight 110 kg, Body Mass Index (BMI) 37 kg/m2, serum creatinine (sCr) 5 mg/dL, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 23 mL/min, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) 75 mg/dL, proteinuria 2.3 g/day. A moderately restricted, low-protein diet allowed reduction in BUN (45–55 mg/dL) and good metabolic and kidney function stability, with a weight increase of 6 kg. Therefore, he asked to be enrolled in a weight-loss program to be wait-listed (the two nearest transplant centres required a BMI below 30 or 35 kg/m2). Since previous low-calorie diets were not successful and he was against a surgical approach, we chose a qualitative, ad libitum coach-assisted diet, freely available in our unit. In the first phase, the diet is dissociated; he lost 16 kg in 2 months, without need for dialysis. In the second maintenance phase, in which foods are progressively combined, he lost 4 kg in 5 months, allowing wait-listing. Dialysis started one year later, and was followed by weight gain of about 5 kg. He resumed the maintenance diet, and his current body weight, 35 months after the start of the diet, is 94 kg, with a BMI of 31.7 kg/m2, without clinical or biochemical signs of malnutrition. This case suggests that our patients can benefit from the same options available to non-CKD (chronic kidney disease) individuals, provided that strict multidisciplinary surveillance is assured.

“…Bioimpedance is recognized as a valid method for evaluating changes in body composition, including VF [53]. The 0.6 units of VF lost in the LPA group be similar (0.4 units) to a study remaining 10 weeks in which the subjects ingested an amount of 2.2 g/proteins/daily without the prescription of PA [54].…”

Objectives Although the effectiveness of high-intensity training has been widely recognized as positive in athletes, its application in a clinical context is not well established. There is enough evidence to confirm that high-intensity routines are safe and that at-risk populations, such as for overweight and obese subjects, can help from these weight loss treatments. The purpose of this study was to lead a trial to test whether manipulation of physical activity in extension to high protein diet intake would induce changes in total weight and body composition. Methods Sixty-eight healthy male volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the experimental groups: a control group with a low-level prescription of physical activity (1–4 METs), moderate physical activity group that performed 10.000 steps walking per day (5–8 METs) and intense physical activity group that trained exercises by at least 70% of VO2max three times a week (> 8 METs). All subjects followed a high-protein diet designed with a reduction of 500 kcal/day. Nutritional counseling was provided throughout the study period to help ensure dietary adherence. This intervention was delivered over twenty-four sessions as weekly one-on-one, face-to-face 30-min consultations. Results A significant reduction in body fat percentage was observed in the intense physical activity group (-20.9 ± 8.8 (CI95%: -25.6 – -16.2), p < 0.001). The change in muscle mass did not produce any significant differences between groups (p > 0.05). Concerning weight, a notable weight loss was found in those subjects who performed moderate or intense physical exercise, vs. those who did light exercise, (p < 0.001) and (p < 0.003), respectively. Conclusion our data strongly suggest that resistance training should be included, whenever possible, in any dietary treatment for improving the body composition of men with overweight or obesity.
