Weight Loss Improves SDB and Metabolic Dysregulation

Posted: May 25, 2012 at 9:11 am

Oral presentation: Wednesday, May 23, 9:30 a.m. Mini-symposium: 8:15-10:45 a.m Location: Room 3020-3022 (West Building, Level 3), Moscone Center

Weight Loss Improves Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Metabolic Dysregulation in Obese Children

Newswise ATS 2012, SAN FRANCISCO Weight loss improved both metabolic parameters and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in obese children in a new study from researchers in Belgium, confirming links between metabolic dysregulation, SDB and obesity.

SDB is highly prevalent in childhood obesity, and may be a risk factor for the metabolic syndrome. In our population of 224 obese children and adolescents, 30% had SDB, which was significantly correlated with metabolic parameters, including aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) and HDL cholesterol at baseline, said Stijn Verhulst, MD, MSc, PhD, coordinator of the pediatric sleep lab at the Antwerp University Hospital, Belgium. After weight loss, all metabolic parameters improved, and just 24% of the study group had residual SDB.

The results will be presented at the ATS 2012 International Conference in San Francisco.

Median age of the children in the study was 15.5 years (range 10.1-18.0). Participants underwent baseline sleep screening and those with diagnosed SDB underwent additional sleep screening four-six months after weight loss treatment. A fasting blood assay was performed at baseline and at four-six months.

Mean BMI at baseline was 36.4 kg/m2. After a six-month weight loss program that incorporated diet, increased physical activity and psychological support, mean BMI was reduced to 29.2 kg/m2. ASAT improved after weight loss in parallel with an improvement in oxygen saturation during sleep, while HDL-cholesterol mainly improved with lowering BMI.

The association between SDB and metabolic parameters in children remains controversial, said Dr. Verhulst. This study confirmed the independent effect of nocturnal hypoxia on HDL-cholesterol and liver enzyme levels in morbidly obese teenagers with SDB at baseline. We also confirmed that weight loss has a high success percentage in the treatment of SDB in obese teenagers. Furthermore, both weight loss and the consequent improvement in SDB both drive improvements in metabolic dysregulation.

Because of the high dropout rate after six months and the relatively limited number of subjects with residual sleep apnea, these findings need to be confirmed in a larger study, Dr. Verhulst concluded. Furthermore, it remains important to study the mechanisms linking SDB with these metabolic parameters in obese teens and to study the long-term effects of SDB on future metabolic and cardiovascular morbidity.

More Valley men opting for weight-loss procedures

Posted: May 25, 2012 at 9:11 am

PHOENIX (CBS5) -

As the dog days of summer are fast approaching, and people are preparing for swimsuit season, anew weight-lossprocedure is focusing a good portion of its marketing toward men.

"Tried different diets and mixed things up a little bit and thought why not?" Jamal Ross said.

Ross couldn't help but notice new ads focused in on guys for "cool sculpting."

He said it seemed like a better option for him than liposuction.

"I wasn't quite at that point, so this just seemed like something that was pretty non-invasive and just a good entry point to see what the results would be like," Ross said.

A vacuum is placed over the fat that supplies a blast of cold to the area freezing the fat and eventually your body just gets rid of it. The procedure claims to be virtually pain-free.

"You feel a little bit of cool and other than that I've been kind of enjoying just hanging out," Ross said.

"The more the word gets out, the more that the patients come in and they realize there's more to the practice, more men are inquiring about it," Dr. Charles Evans said.

Evans, whoruns the Men's Vitality Center, said more and more men are coming in wanting to look better and feel better about their image.

Diets du jour

Posted: May 21, 2012 at 11:27 am

By Deni Rose M. Afinidad, Staff Writer

05/21/2012

he past century had been a celebration of cures. Now, the mantra prevention is better than cure has become so strong, this century has been rated PG (Prevention Generation).

If it is true that the digestive system is the culprit behind top Filipino killers heart disease, cancer, diabetes, hypertension and diarrhea, then prevention should start with what the old adage says makes you who you are: what you eat.

Now that summer break is almost over, it is now time to give a holiday to one of the busiest parts of the body your stomach. The recently held 4th HSBC Coffee Talk: Hot Summer, Hot Diets was a platform for people to meet eye to eye with the eye of todays wellness storm: diets.

Art Mendoza from The Biggest Loser; Rescina Bhagwani who lost 65 pounds on the Cohen diet; JL Martinez who lost 120 pounds on the HCG diet; Lala Agregado who credits her newly toned physique to CrossFit; and Kat Azanza, co-owner of Juju Cleanse, shared pound-per-pound pieces of advice for those thinking of tipping off the scale to get todays most sought-after Bora body.

Natural diet and CrossFit

In her childhood, Agregado used to be overweight. Her mother has a seemingly eternal hourglass figure, while every celebrity she watched on TV seemed to be always slim. These pressured her to try the extremes.

I have tried all the crazy diets and weight loss methods out there, she said. Bangkok pills, Xenical... you name it. You may lose a lot of weight in a short period of time but trust me, you will balloon back with a vengeance.

She, however, found the solution she had been looking for ever since she signed up for CrossFit.

Is the Dukan diet right for you?

Posted: May 21, 2012 at 11:27 am

By Erin Gulden Content provided by

When news hit that a certain Duchess may have turned to the Dukan Diet to help her slim down before her very public wedding in April 2011, the blogs were abuzz. Then came reports that both model Gisele Bundchen and singer Jennifer Lopez used the diet to lose their baby weight. The blogs went wild. Was this the magic method dieters had been waiting for?

Dr. Pierre Dukan had been prescribing his high-protein, phase-based diet to his own patients for decades, but only in the last 10 years has he put his plan down in writing. It made a splash in France before spreading through European nations and dozens of other countries before being published in the United States in April 2011, the same month as the Royal Wedding. Though Carole Middleton is reportedly a fan and turned her now-famous daughters on to the diet, Dukan's method has plenty of detractors.

A survey by the French magazine Journal des Femmes Sant asked 5,000 people who completed the Dukan Diet how it worked in the long run. More than 80 percent of responders reported losing weight rapidly, but putting it all back on within four years. In December 2011, the British Dietetic Association went a step further, calling the diet one of the five worst celebrity diets of 2011.

So how does it work? The plan consists of four phases. The first tends to be the most satisfying, due to the rapid weight loss. It's called the Attack Phase, and consists of eating unlimited amounts of lean meats and nonfat dairy products and small amounts of oat bran. This phase lasts for two to seven days, depending on how much weight the dieter wants to lose. The second phase is the Cruise phase, where dieters rotate days of pure protein with days of pure protein and vegetables until they hit their desired weight. The third phase reintroduces whole grains and cheeses in fixed amounts, and the last phase allows the dieter to eat whatever they like, as long as they eat only pure protein one day each week.

Karen Ansel, a registered dietitian and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association), finds immediate fault with the diet's restrictive regimen. "When you're on a diet that restricts entire food groups it can be really difficult to get the nutrients you need," Ansel says. "To feel your best you really want to find a diet that lets you eat from all the food groups."

She says the high-protein approach may lead to rapid weight loss, but cautions that since protein acts as a diuretic, most of those initial pounds may be lost water weight, not fat.

And she says there are other side effects to high-protein diets, including constipation, fatigue, dry mouth, bad breath and even depression. "Our bodies need carbohydrates to synthesize the brain chemical serotonin, which is linked to feelings of happiness and relaxation," Ansel says.

So the Dukan Diet may work in the short term, and high-protein diets may be able to help you slim down a few days before an event, but for long-term weight loss success, Ansel suggests skipping Dukan.

"The best formula for weight loss is a plan that allows you to eat smaller portions from all food groups," Ansel says. "Not only is it healthier, you're more likely to stick with it."
