TLDR
A modest lifestyle program facilitates weight loss and enables improvements in glucose tolerance to be maintained in obese individuals with abnormal glucose tolerance, however, attrition was high, despite the mild nature of the program.Abstract:
Objective: Previous studies have demonstrated the benefit of short-term diets on glucose tolerance in obese individuals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of modest lifestyle changes in maintaining improvements in glucose tolerance induced by short-term energy restriction in obese African Americans with impaired glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Research Methods and Procedures: An intervention group (n = 45; 47 ± 1 year [mean ± SE]), 105 ± 4 kg; body mass index: 39 ± 1 kg/m2) received an energy-restricted diet (943 ± 26 kcal/d) for 1 week, followed by a lifestyle program of reduced dietary fat (−125 kcal/d) and increased physical activity (+125 kcal/d) for 1 year. Body weight and plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin, and C-peptide during an oral glucose tolerance test were measured at baseline, 1-week, and 4-month intervals. A control group (n = 24; 48 ± 1 year; 110 ± 5 kg; body mass index: 41 ± 2 kg/m2) underwent these measurements at 4-month intervals.
Results: No changes in weight or glucose tolerance were observed in the control group. The intervention group had significant (p < 0.05) improvements in body weight and glucose tolerance in response to the 1-week diet, which persisted for 4 months (p < 0.001 vs. control for change in weight). A total of 19 subjects (42%) continued the intervention program for 1 year, with sustained improvements (weight: −4.6 ± 1.0 kg; p < 0.001 vs. control; oral glucose tolerance test glucose area: −103 ± 44 mM · min; p < 0.05 vs. control).
Discussion: A modest lifestyle program facilitates weight loss and enables improvements in glucose tolerance to be maintained in obese individuals with abnormal glucose tolerance. However, attrition was high, despite the mild nature of the program.read more

TL;DR: Weight-loss interventions utilizing a reduced-energy diet and exercise are associated with moderate weight loss at 6 months and the addition of weight- Loss medications somewhat enhances weight-loss maintenance.

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: It does not appear that exercise training-induced weight loss results in greater improvements than those that result from calorie restriction alone, and glucoregulation and circulating factors involved in insulin action in nonobese, healthy, middle-aged men and women.

TL;DR: Very‐low‐calorie diets, providing <800 kcal/d, have been used since the 1970s to induce rapid weight loss and are still used for achieving long‐term weight loss.
