Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) become one of serious health issues globally including Thailand. The Wellness Center was introduced by the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) in public hospitals since 2018 for both healthy people and people who at risk for NCDs. It incorporates risk evaluation, health assessment, health behaviors changing, health promotion and prevention, and health record system to follow participant’s health status. This study aimed to evaluate the Wellness Centers in three public hospitals in Thailand using RE-AIM framework. Findings indicated that the Wellness Centers successful reached its target groups. Although sample size was small, the findings provided a positive outcome. Besides, the average weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) had reduced significantly after participants attending both services of Wellness Centers. However, there were some challenges from this program such as financial sustainability, performance indicator, and data system.

“…There were also many statements recognizing weight loss, which may have increased self-esteem due to the achievement of weight loss. In prior studies [ 20 , 21 ], greater weight loss would be associated with a greater improvement in weight-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL), which consists of a total score and five subscales: physical function, self-esteem, sexual life, work and public distress about one’s weight. The LCD group is more likely than the VLCD group to focus on dietary satisfaction, which may make the diet therapy more likely to be sustainable in the real world.…”

Recently, low-carbohydrate diets (LCDs) have gained worldwide attention. LCDs are potentially effective for Japanese overweight and obese individuals with metabolic disorders. However, few randomized trials of LCDs have focused on the difference between LCDs and VLCDs. We conducted a randomized, prospective study of 42 Japanese, obese adults aged 28–65 years to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LCD and VLCD. To ensure the accuracy of the study, all test meals were provided, and compliance was checked using a smartphone app. Body composition measurements and blood tests were performed before and after the 2-month dietary intervention. The results showed that both methods significantly reduced body weight and fat, and also improved lipid abnormalities and liver function. In the current study, the reductions in weight and fat were comparable. The results of a questionnaire at the end of the study indicated that the LCD was easier to carry out than the VLCD, suggesting that the LCD was sustainable. The present study was unique in that it was a randomized, prospective study of Japanese subjects and that accurate data were obtained by providing meals.

“…A synergistic application of several strategies is suggested, which include: Caloric Management: Establishing a calorie deficit forms the core of weight loss strategies. A multitude of controlled trials have validated the effectiveness of managing calorie intake for successful weight reduction [15][16][17][18][19][20]. These research findings advocate for a modest caloric deficit, generally between 500 to 1000 calories daily, to foster a safe and lasting pace of weight loss [15][16][17][18].…”
