A study found that eating minimally processed foods can nearly double weight loss over 8 weeks compared to ultra-processed foods, even when both diets follow healthy guidelines, highlighting the importance of food processing level in weight management.
A study from University College London found that people who ate minimally processed foods lost twice as much weight as those who ate ultra-processed foods, despite both diets being nutritionally matched, suggesting that reducing processed foods can enhance weight loss without calorie restriction.
A recent study found that people who ate minimally processed foods lost twice as much weight as those consuming ultra-processed foods, highlighting the benefits of a diet based on whole, nutrient-dense foods for effective weight management.
A six-month study found that eating minimally processed whole foods leads to better health outcomes, including weight loss and improved biomedical markers, compared to ultraprocessed foods, which are linked to adverse health effects and are increasingly prevalent globally.
A six-month study by UCL found that people lost more weight and unhealthy fat when eating minimally processed foods compared to ultra-processed foods, highlighting the negative impact of ultra-processed diets on weight management and health, and emphasizing the need for societal and policy changes to promote healthier eating habits.
A six-month study found that altering sugar intake does not change people's preference for sweetness, nor does it impact energy consumption or body weight, challenging the belief that eating sugar increases cravings or consumption.
A recent study published in Frontiers in Nutrition suggests that reducing or eliminating meat from your diet can lead to significant health benefits, including weight loss and reduced inflammation, by lowering dietary acid load. Participants on a vegan diet lost about 13 pounds on average, highlighting the potential advantages of plant-based foods over meat for overall health and weight management.
A study suggests that combining intermittent fasting with protein pacing can lead to superior weight loss and improved gut health compared to simple calorie restriction. This diet regimen showed greater reductions in body fat, visceral fat, and appetite, along with beneficial changes in gut microbiota and metabolic responses. However, the study was small, and experts recommend personalized weight management advice from professionals.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is conducting a $200 million Nutrition for Precision Health study involving 500 participants living in government laboratories to identify how different people respond to various diets, aiming to provide personalized nutritional guidance and clearer recommendations for the US public amid the obesity epidemic. Participants will spend two weeks on three different diets, undergo medical tests, and provide samples. The study hopes to build a nutritional database of 1 million people, provide individualized health prevention strategies, and develop personalized diet advice based on genetics, culture, and environment.
The National Institutes of Health is conducting a large-scale diet study called Nutrition for Precision Health, aiming to understand how different individuals metabolize and respond to various diets. The study, part of the All of Us research program, seeks to develop machine-learning algorithms that can offer personalized diet plans to improve health. By collecting health and genetic data from 10,000 diverse adults, the study aims to provide tailored dietary advice based on factors such as genetics, medical conditions, sleep, exercise, and stress levels. Participants will receive free analyses of their metabolic health and can earn up to $6,200 for their involvement.
A study reveals that many MS patients do not discuss bowel symptoms with their doctors, despite the impact on their quality of life; a blood test using artificial intelligence algorithms shows promise in predicting MS disease activity, but further validation is needed; a small study suggests that an anti-inflammatory diet combined with synbiotic supplements may improve symptoms in people with progressive MS.
