“…The present study was conducted as a controlled clinical trial in which participants were randomly assigned to the LC or LF diet rather than self-selecting a diet based on their food preference and eating habits. In Western society, established eating patterns and the most common traditional dietary recommendations favor a high-carbohydrate dietary pattern, 4,5 with bread, pasta, rice, and fruit consumed in large quantities. Therefore, the LC diet being so far removed from normal dietary habits may have created a significant challenge for participants, leading to the possibility of food preoccupation, social eating impairment, and dysphoria.…”

“…2 Overweight and obesity are, for the most part, considered to be multi-factorial, preventable conditions resulting from a chronic energy imbalance that occurs when individuals consume more energy than they expend. [4][5][6] Factors that contribute to these conditions include diet, genetics, physical activity, environment, culture, use of medications, and psychological status. 6,7 Increasing BMI brings progressively increasing risks of developing illnesses such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, gallstones, stress incontinence, gynaecological abnormalities, and certain types of cancer.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to reach consensus on the importance and feasibility of clinical practice guideline (CPG) recommendations for physiotherapy practice for the prevention and management of overweight and obesity in Canadian adults. Methods: We used a modified Delphi method to achieve consensus. Participants rated the importance and feasibility of recommendations using a nine-point scale in two rounds of electronic surveys and a conference call. The mean and distribution of ratings were analyzed to determine consensus. Results: Twenty-one physiotherapists experienced in the management of patients with obesity and representing diverse regions of Canada and areas of practice participated. Seventeen (81.0%) completed survey 1. Ten (47.6%) participated in the conference call and survey 2. Eight of 34 strategies received mean ratings of 7.00 or more for both importance and feasibility from at least two-thirds of participants. These strategies were related to physical activity prescription and assessment. Conclusions: A sample of physiotherapists in Canada agreed that obesity-related CPGs contain recommendations that are important to physiotherapy practice. These findings, along with the Canadian Physiotherapy Association's position statement on obesity, provide support for the argument that physiotherapists, as directaccess practitioners or members of multidisciplinary teams, should play a role in the health care of people with obesity and overweight.Key Words: Delphi technique; obesity; overweight; physical therapy; practice guideline. RÉ SUMÉObjectif : L'objectif de cette é tude est d'atteindre un consensus quant à l'importance et à la possibilité de mettre concrè tement en pratique les recommandations des lignes directrices de pratique clinique pour la pré vention et la gestion de l'obé sité et du surpoids chez les adultes canadiens dans le cadre de la pratique de la physiothé rapie. Mé thode : Pour parvenir à un tel consensus, on a eu recours à une mé thode Delphi modifié e. Les participants ont é valué l'importance et la faisabilité des recommandations sur une é chelle de 9 points dans le cadre de deux rondes de sondages ré alisé s par voie é lectronique et d'une confé rence té lé phonique. La moyenne et la ré partition des cotes ont é té analysé es en vue de dé terminer s'il y avait consensus. Ré sultats : Au total, 21 physiothé rapeutes expé rimenté s en gestion de patients souffrant d'obé sité , repré sentant diverses ré gions du Canada et divers secteurs de pratique, ont participé à l'é tude. De ce nombre, 17 (81,0 %) ont rempli le sondage n o 1. Dix physiothé rapeutes (47,6 %) ont pris part à la confé rence té lé phonique et au sondage n o 2. Huit des 34 straté gies reç ues comportaient des cotes moyennes b7,00 pour l'importance comme pour la faisabilité , provenant d'au moins les deux tiers des participants. Ces straté gies é taient lié es à la prescription d'activité physique et à l'é valuation. Conclusions : Un é chantillon de physiothé rapeutes au Canada convient que certaines...

“…In this program, the guidelines applied were those established by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and included in the Clinical Guidelines on the Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults24 and position statements from the American Dietetic Association and the American College of Sports Medicine 25,26. Practically, they applied a low calorie diet, meaning calorie restriction to -1,200 to 1,800 calories daily as appropriate to the individual.…”

PurposeTo evaluate the efficacy, safety and availability of a 12-week, community-based obesity control program called the Protein-Rich Oriental Diet (PRO Diet) and to compare it to a conventional diet.Materials and MethodsA total of 515 overweight people (55 men and 460 women; mean age 41.9 ± 9.8 years; body mass index (BMI) 28.1 ± 3.6 kg/m2) participated in the program at two public health centers. PRO Diet was offered as the main diet recommendation for 12 weeks. As a control group, we selected a population who had followed a conventional diet program conducted at a public health center in 2006.Results177 subjects (34.3%) completed the 12-week PRO Diet program. In a per protocol (PP) analysis, the mean changes in anthropometry were (conventional program vs. PRO Diet; weight, - 2.3 kg vs. - 4.7 kg, p < 0.001; BMI, - 1.1 kg/m2 vs. - 1.9 kg/m2, p < 0.001; waist circumference, - 3.3 cm vs. - 6.8 cm, p < 0.001; fat mass, - 2.0 kg vs. - 4.2 kg, p < 0.001; fat % mass, - 1.8% vs. - 3.9%, p < 0.001). The triglyceride reduction was significantly greater (- 30.16 mg/dL, p < 0.001) in the PRO Diet group after intervention compared to the conventional group.ConclusionThe PRO Diet was an effective tool for weight loss in a community-based weight control program and well-tolerated.
