TL;DR: A significant association between self-monitoring and weight loss was consistently found; however, the level of evidence was weak and the most significant limitations of the reviewed studies were the homogenous samples and reliance on self-report.

TL;DR: In this article, the American Heart Association Council on Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Metabolism reviewed the relationship between obesity and the cardiovascular system, evaluated the effect of weight loss on coronary heart disease risk factors, and provided practical weight management treatment guidelines for cardiovascular healthcare professionals.

TL;DR: In order to achieve these goals, healthcare providers must focus on reducing CVD risk factors such as overweight and obesity, which could increase by almost 7 years if all forms of major CVD were eliminated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the impact of obesity on the diagnosis, clinical management, and outcomes of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias, especially sudden cardiac death and atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: A synthesis of the recent literature, new guidelines, and clinical targets, including screening for kidney and subclinical cardiovascular disease for the contemporary management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are presented.
