Objective
The objective of this study was to investigate whether pausing a weight loss program for a defined period of time could enhance weight loss and reduce attrition.
Methods
Five databases and two trial registries were searched from inception to July 2023. Randomized‐controlled trials of adults with overweight and/or obesity were included if they compared planned‐pause interventions with...
Aim
Excess weight increases the risk of morbidity following colorectal cancer surgery. Weight loss may improve morbidity, but it is uncertain whether patients can follow an intensive weight loss intervention while waiting for surgery and there are concerns about muscle mass loss. The aim of this trial is to assess the feasibility of intentional weight loss in this setting and determine progression...
Objective
Low‐energy diets are used to treat obesity and diabetes, but there are fears that they may worsen liver disease in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and significant‐to‐advanced fibrosis.
Methods
In this 24‐week single‐arm trial, 16 adults with NASH, fibrosis, and obesity received one‐to‐one remote dietetic support to follow a low‐energy (880 kcal/d) total diet replacement...

This factorial RCT aimed to examine the effect of altering the default order of foods and being offered a swap on the SFA content of food selected during an online shopping experiment. Methods UK adults who were the primary grocery shoppers for their...
Background About 80% of endometrial cancer survivors (ECS) are overweight or obese and have sedentary behaviors. Lifestyle behavior interventions are promising for improving dietary and physical activity behaviors, but the constructs associated with their effectiveness are often inadequately reported. The aim of this study was to systematically adapt an evidence-based behavior change program to improve...
Background Endometrial cancer survivors comprise a high-risk group for obesity-related comorbidities. Healthy eating and physical activity can lead to better health and well-being, but this population may experience difficulties adopting healthy lifestyle practices. Personalised behaviour change programmes that are feasible, acceptable and cost-effective are needed. The aim of this trial is to pilot...
