Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

This study was designed to test the impact of a 12-week online behavioral modification program for weight loss, with or without a fortified beverage. Subjects are randomized to four conditions: 1) Online Basic Lifestyle Counseling (OBLI); 2) Online Lifestyle Counseling (OLC); 3) OBLI plus a beverage (BEV); 4) OLC + BEV. The three hypotheses were: 1)after 12 weeks, individuals in the OLC condition would lose more weight than those in OBLI; 2) after 12 weeks, the OLC + BEV condition would lose more weight than the OLC condition; and 3) after 12 weeks, the OBLI + BEV condition would lose more weight than the OBLI condition.

The purpose of the study is to find out if taking calcium and vitamin D supplements, while following a low-calorie diet, can help people lose weight.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dietary fat on satiety (the experience of fullness between one meal and the next) and energy metabolism over an extended period of time (chronic effects). How dietary fat sources affect satiety, appetite and energy use is unclear. The investigators will use a controlled setting for the studies. They want to know if the source of dietary fat alters satiety, satiety hormones, and energy expenditure responses after consuming different diets.

The purpose of this research is to understand how dietary fat is related to cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study tests the effect of different dietary fats on the level of fat in the blood and the particles that transport fat in the blood. The researchers want to know if these particles change after eating meals made with different fats.

This observational placebo-controlled pilot study is intended to document whether or not Lyzme5, an over-the-counter (OTC) proprietary nutritional supplement product can positively impact, (a) weight and, (b) cholesterol levels in man.

The overall aim of this research is to assess the feasibility of a 12-week combined aerobic exercise (AEx) and resistance exercise (REx) intervention and elucidate the impact of AEx/REx on several physiological and behavioral components of energy balance among breast cancer survivors (BCS).

Background: Obesity increasingly affects young women and contributes to increased maternal, fetal and neonatal complications. Maternal obesity contributes to the subsequent development of childhood obesity not only through social and environmental mechanisms but also through biological processes referring to the original concept of the developmental health and disease. Data suggest that management during pregnancy through nutrition counseling and adequate physical activity will help to break the familial vicious circle of obesity. To help program to be effective it is important to understand the factors that modulate participation. However, few studies have been conducted to assess the determinants that influence participation. Goal: The main objective is to analyze 15 factors that influence participation in a program combining physical activity and nutritional counseling among pregnant women with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2. Secondary objectives are : to identify the data that influence adherence and to show that assiduous women will have a better control of weight gain and a reduction of maternal and fetal complications. to understand the biological mechanisms involved Strategy and method: A prospective research evaluating the participation in an educational program, including nutritional support and adequate physical activity, will be offered to overweight and obese pregnant women. The program will last 12 weeks, and will include three workshops on diet of the pregnant and lactating women, and the young child. Physical activity sessions will be offered once a week. Fifteen independent variables likely to influence participation will be analyzed. The association between participation and the risk of maternal and fetal pregnancy complications related to obesity will be analysed. Meanwhile, more fundamental research will be considered to determine of the biological factors involved.

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of an intervention designed to help increase physical activity and decrease screen time.

The study aim is to Assess the Effect of an IR Reflexotherapy on Overweight and Class I Obese People.

The primary objective of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of two intensive two-session trainings, the conventional psycho-education and food cue exposure, on eating in the absence of hunger, binge eating and Body Mass Index (BMI) change in overweight/ obese children.
