Diet Instruction by Registered Dietitians Improves Weight-Loss Success
According to researchers at the University of Minnesota. Working with a registered dietitian increases your chance of achieving weight-loss success.
According to the January 2008 Journal of the American Dietetic Association, researchers evaluated the outcomes of 26 overweight adults who enrolled in an 11-week weight-loss program. All the participants attended regular weigh-ins, some of which included classes led by a registered dietitian that covered topics like calorie restriction, dietary change, exercise and behavior modification.
The researchers found strong correlations between weight loss and attendance at the RD-instructed classes, but not with weigh-ins that did not include classes.
The researchers conclude: “Frequent dietary instruction by an RD conveying topics related to weight loss was more effective than frequent weigh-in visits alone in promoting weight reduction in our study participants. Our results demonstrate that interaction with and education by an RD significantly improves weight-loss efforts.”
The January 2008 Journal of the American Dietetic Association is also reporting that the relationship with food affects weight gain. In a nutshell, weight gain or loss is not simply a matter of “calories in and calories out.” This is according to researchers at the University of Alabama.
A person’s relationship with food plays a vital role.
According to the researchers, “Eating has been recognized as a coping mechanism for alleviating and dealing with stress and emotions by either under- eating or overeating.”
The researchers developed a 24-question Eating and Appraisal Due to Emotions and Stress questionnaire and distributed it to more than 4,100 faculty and staff members at the University of Alabama, obtaining more than 820 usable responses.
Among the results of the questionnaire, the researchers found people who say they eat in response to emotions and stress are more likely to be overweight or obese.
