About the 3 hot issues of weight loss, the American Obesity Week Conference said so...

energy

The dynamic stages of obesity development are validated in the Carbohydrate-Insulin Model (CIM), where a key role of diet is metabolized
by influencing substrate distribution.
Carbohydrates that can be digested quickly act through insulin and other hormones, leading to increased fat deposits that drive positive energy balance
.
There are also related research reports that the brain can regulate the energy balance of obesity in response to external changes
.

Diet quality

Experts recommend improving weight through dietary patterns that improve diet quality and reduce energy intake, but there is currently no consensus
on how to define diet quality.
However, diet quality can be assessed in terms of food patterns, for example by scoring
how closely food patterns are with national dietary guidelines.

Common indicators of dietary quality include the Mediterranean Diet Score, the Healthy Eating Index, and dietary patterns that improve hypertension through dietary control (DASH).

The Mediterranean diet and DASH dietary patterns can reduce energy for weight loss, but studies have also shown that interventions focused on diet quality may additionally increase cardiometabolism
.

In addition, the results of one meta-analysis suggest that changing fruit and vegetable intake does not appear to improve weight outcomes
.
Another review showed that increased intake of fruits and vegetables contributed to small weight loss
.
Unfortunately, the current evidence is still insufficient to prove that simply changing fruit and vegetable intake can prevent obesity and lose weight
.

breakfast

While changing breakfast intake alone does not appear to improve weight outcomes, observational studies have found a strong link
between eating breakfast and markers of healthy weight management.
Over the past 50 years, skipping breakfast has been increasing, along with the incidence
of obesity.
Therefore, experts recommend that everyone eat breakfast in the morning, which can reduce the chance of
obesity.

water

Drinking plenty of water can help you lose weight, which is already common knowledge
known to "weight loss class".
Indeed, drinking plenty of water can lead to weight
loss through several mechanisms.
For example, water helps regulate appetite, and water can induce heat effects to increase the body's energy consumption
.

But in fact, the increase in obesity is often accompanied by an increase
in the frequency of people drinking beverages.
In a randomized trial of sugar-sweetened beverages and adolescent weight, it was found that reducing sugar-sweetened beverage intake over a one-year period reduced weight gain
.
Of course, more research is needed to prove whether replacing all beverages with water improves weight gain
.

Frequency of eating

Many people prepare small snacks for themselves, thinking that eating small and frequent meals will prevent them from overeating due to excessive hunger to a certain extent
.
But what they may be ignoring is that eating more frequently increases their exposure to food, which may lead to eating more
.

So diet frequency has nothing to do with improving weight? The answer is no
.
Eating frequency may affect weight by influencing time variables such as eating intervals and time to energy intake
.
Therefore, there are also relevant researchers from the perspective of controlling the diet structure and improving weight, encouraging eating meals or snack plans to replace traditional dietary methods, but this seems to cause weight gain, and it is unclear what the real impact of meal plans on participants is
.

Is weight loss a health goal that all overweight/obese patients must pursue?
