Eating more dairy can aid in fat loss[edit]

[edit]

Studies have shown that a diet high in dairy decreases total body fat. This occurs because a high amount of dietary calcium increases the amount of energy and fat excreted from the body. Studies have shown that saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats all have a higher excretion rate with a high calcium intake. In these studies, a high calcium intake is considered 2300 mg and a low calcium intake is considered 700 mg. A possible explanation to this phenomenon is that high intakes of calcium cause calcium soap formation and/ or binding of bile acids in the intestine. Other studies specifically show that dairy sources of calcium demonstrate greater weight loss than supplemental calcium intake. This may be due to the other bioactive components present in milk, which may aid in metabolic efficiency and fat loss. The accuracy of this statement remains controversial. Since most natural dairy products contain fat content, there is a common understanding that this may cause weight gain. In addition, dairy contains some key ingredients such as whey protein and combinations protein/calcium that have a positive effect on satiety, increases energy loss, and finally assists weight loss.[1]

Misconceptions about weight management

[edit]

There is several misconception among health professionals and the general public when talking about weight loss. The main purpose of a study made the public health nutrition, was to evaluate the expertise and practices of public-sector primary-care health professionals and final-year students regarding the role of nutrition and physical activity. The results showed most of health professionals seem to be promoting the theoretical concepts of lifestyle modification but providing practical advice to patients is not something there is not enough knowledge about.[1] Possible reasons for this include lack of adequate education of doctors in this area, misreporting of health research in the popular media, and a need for further research in some areas. Myths and misinformation about the best way(s) to lose weight are common. This is not surprising given the lack of a clear evidence base. [2] Encouraging weight loss and weight management in people is necessary since this will help the improve glycemic control, reduce cardiovascular disease risk, and can prevent they development of type 2 diabetes in those with pre-diabetes.[3] Lastly, preventing obesity can help treat serious social and psychological costs[4]. According to the study made by the International Journal of Obesity, obese persons tend to be discriminated across many areas of living, including rejection at school[5], hiring bias in employment[6], among others.

Fruit juice is about as fattening as beer (T)

[edit]

In terms of energy content (calories/kilojoules), equivalent servings of fruit juice and beer are roughly similar.[2] From a data collected by the CSFII reported an increase in the portion sizes of orange juice by about 1 ounce ( 15 kcal), of soft drinks by 2 ounces (25 kcal), of fruit drinks by 2 ounces (30 kcal), and of beers by an astounding 8 ounces (96 kcal). An increase of 25 kcal/day from soft drinks alone comes to more than 9,000 kcal per year- an amount approaching a 3-pound weight gain.[7]

A low protein diet is best for weight loss (F)

[edit]

According to a study made by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition a high protein diet induces sustained reductions in appetite, and ad libitum caloric intake. The hypothesis was proven since results informed satiety was markedly increased with the isocaloric high-protein diet and effectively contribute to weight loss. [8] The importance of a well formatted diet for the prevention and management of obesity is important. The consumption of low-fat diets results in short-term weight loss.[9] However, a low-carbohydrate, high protein, and high-fat diets may result in meaningful long-term weight loss.[10] In addition, a effective complement to a high protein diet are the nuts. Nut consumption has been associated with multiple health benefits such as antioxidant, hypocholesterolemic, cardioprotective, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic benefits. [11]
