Cognitive Strategies for Weight Loss

Obesity

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare weight change and other related outcomes associated with three different behavioral weight loss interventions (STANDARD Behavioral, PREVENT, and PROMOTE) in adults with obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: Which of the three Internet-delivered weight loss programs results in the greatest weight loss? How do key weight-related behaviors (e.g., adherence, diet, physical activity) differ across the arms? What individual characteristics predict success in each arm? What are the underlying mechanisms of each approach? Are there any potential adverse outcomes associated with any of the conditions (e.g., depression, weight stigmatization, increased body image concerns). Participants will: signed informed consent complete a baseline assessment be randomized to 12 months of either Standard iBWL, PREVENT or PROMOTE complete a training workshop to learn arm-specific cognitive strategies complete a 12-month Internet-delivered weight loss program, requiring self-monitoring of intake and exercise and viewing of 12 weekly lessons followed by 9 monthly lessons complete an assessment at 3 months (during treatment) complete a refresher workshop on arm-specific cognitive strategies at 3 months complete an assessment at 6 months (during treatment), 12 months (at the conclusion of treatment), and 18 months (6 months after treatment

The Banded Mini Gastric Bypass Trial: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Bariatric SurgeryWeight Loss1 more

Rationale: Investigate if there is a significant weight reduction expressed in total body weight loss percentage (%TBWL) in patients 5 years after surgery, whom underwent a mini gastric bypass (MGB-OAGB) with addition of the implantation of a MiniMizer Ring. Study design: A prospective non blinded single centre randomized controlled trial. Sudy population: The study population will exist of patients eligible for MGB-OAGB surgery. Patients are invited to participate if Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 35kg/m2 with a comorbidity related to morbid obesity, or a BMI exceeding 40kg/m2. Intervention: Insertion of the MiniMizer Ring around the gastric pouch in addition to the 'standard' MGB-OAGB. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary Objective: %TBWL 5 years after surgery. Secondary Objectives: Percentage Excess Weight Loss (%EWL) 5 years after surgery. Decrease or reduction of comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, sleep apnoea, and joint complaints). Improvement of quality of life: SF-36 and OBESI-Q questionnaires. Incidence and severity of dumping syndrome. Incidence and severity of reflux symptoms: GERD-HRQoL questionnaire. Incidence and complications due to silicone band. Measurement of objectives are before surgery and six times after surgery combined with the standard postoperative care for patients who undergo bariatric surgery: Expected advantages of bOLGB versus OLGB: Increase of weight reduction, and due to that decrease of comorbidities and/or mortality related to overweight. Long term decrease of weight regain. Decrease of incidence of dumping. Possible disadvantages of bOLGB versus OLGB: Band-related complications such as erosion, infection, stenosis, or pouch dilatation. Functional gastro-intestinal complains such as dysphagia and reflux.

Enhanced DPP-GLB to Promote Weight Loss Among Nonresponders in a Community-Based Lifestyle Intervention....

Diabetes

This study seeks to establish the efficacy of identifying weight loss nonresponders early in a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) intervention in 20 community settings (primarily churches and community centers) and providing them with individual-level, enhanced treatment through telephone contacts and access to additional resources. Additionally, potential mediators and moderators of the relationship between intervention status and weight loss response at 6 months in both nonresponders and responders will be examined and a cost-effectiveness analysis to evaluate the cost of the intervention will be conducted. This study addresses key gaps in the literature about the weight loss effects of identifying nonresponders early and characterizing individuals who need more intense personalized strategies. The investigators hypothesize that changes between baseline and 3 months will be more pronounced among the nonresponders in the intervention group compared to the nonresponders in the active control group.

Time-restricted Eating Versus Daily Continuous Calorie Restriction on Body Weight and Colorectal...

Time Restricted EatingObesity2 more

Approximately 42% of American adults are obese, and this condition is strongly related to the development of colorectal cancer. Innovative lifestyle strategies to treat obesity and reduce colorectal cancer risk are critically needed. This research will demonstrate that time-restricted eating, a type of intermittent fasting, is an effective therapy to help obese individuals reduce and control their body weight and prevent the development of colorectal cancer.

Akkermansia and Weight Maintenance

ObesityMicrotia2 more

Obesity and related disorders such as type 2 diabetes are a worldwide diet-related problem. As such new treatment options are constantly being developed. Bacteria living in the gut seem to be a key player in the treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases by influencing energy balance and the immune system. In terms of newly identified bacteria species, Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) has been found to be related to obesity. Several animal studies have shown the beneficial impact of A. muciniphila on the treatment of body weight as well as insulin sensitivity. The growth requirements of live A. muciniphila as well as its oxygen sensitivity rendered this bacterium unsuitable for human investigations or putative therapeutic opportunities. Therefore, pasteurization, a mild heating method, and its impact on diet-induced metabolic disorders in mice were investigated. Unexpectedly, this method of inactivation did not negate the effect of A. muciniphila, but improved its beneficial metabolic effects. Pilot studies have provided further evidence that pasteurization of A. muciniphila is safe for human use and has the potential to beneficially affect the control of body weight and glucose metabolism. In this project, The investigators hypothesize that pasteurized A. muciniphila will be superior to placebo intervention in maintaining body weight after a phase of weight loss (low caloric diet) in adult participants with overweight or obesity.

Weight Loss Interventions to Reduce Cancer Progression in Prostate Cancer Patients Under Active...

Prostate Carcinoma

This clinical trial examines weight loss interventions in reducing cancer progression in prostate cancer patients under active surveillance. Intensive lifestyle interventions that recommend modest reductions in daily caloric intake (i.e. continuous calorie energy reduction [CER]) are the gold-standard for weight loss, and have been tested in cancer survivors, including prostate cancer patients. However, few interventions have been developed for low-risk prostate cancer patients on active surveillance. Intermittent fasting (IF) may be superior to CER in the context of prostate cancer progression given its dual role in weight loss and metabolic switching from the use of glucose as a fuel source to the use of fatty acids and ketone bodies. This study may help researchers determine which weight loss strategies can reduce their risk of prostate cancer recurrence, and other negative health effects of being overweight or obese.
