Body Composition Changes After Very-Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet in Obesity Evaluated by 3 Standardized Methods

Abstract

The VLCK diet-induced weight loss was mainly at the expense of FM and visceral mass; muscle mass and strength were preserved. Of the 3 body composition techniques used, the MF-BIA method seems more convenient in the clinical setting.

An energy restriction‐based weight loss intervention is able to reverse the effects of obesity on the expression of liver tumor‐promoting genes

“…However, most of these studies were performed using animal models of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and followed a high‐fat diet before the administration of a chemical carcinogen, whereas few studies had evaluated the potential of weight loss in preventing the carcinogenic risk associated with obesity . Weight loss therapies are effective in improving most of the obesity‐associated phenotypes, such as body fat mass, lipid and glucose metabolism, and biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress . However, whether these beneficial effects can reduce the risk of the liver injury that leads to hepatocarcinogenesis remains an open question.…”

Cinnamaldehyde Ameliorates Diet-Induced Obesity in Mice by Inducing Browning of White Adipose Tissue

“…Therefore, interest in the identification of natural remedies to prevent and control obesity with few or no adverse reactions has grown. Recent studies have indicated that some diets and natural compounds, such as the Mediterranean diet and capsaicin, show counteractive effects on obesity [12, 13]. Cinnamaldehyde (CA), a pungent component of cinnamon (bark of Cinnamomum cassia ), is widely used in drugs, food and spices.…”

Effectiveness of Multidisciplinary Intervention in Obese Women with Binge Eating Disorder

“…The multidisciplinary model of BED intervention based on person-centered care leads to greater self-confidence and self-esteem, causing changes in eating behavior and reducing compulsive episodes [35,36].…”
