Are Gut Microbes Responsible for Post-dieting Weight Rebound?

Julien Chilloux

Marc-Emmanuel Dumas



Obesity has reached pandemic proportions, affecting one-third of humanity, causing greater than 3.4 million deaths, and incurring a loss of quality of life and life expectancy (Ng et al., 2014), as it is a major risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The onset of obesity is complex, resulting from the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Much of the clinical effort to treat obesity targets weight loss, which is a direct and measureable outcome. It turns out this is often the easy part of the job—difficulties arise when trying to maintain weight (Hill, 2004). Dieting is a means to an end for people who want to lose weight, yet when they stop dieting, they put more weight on.


With about 10 million genes (Li et al., 2014), the gut microbiome dwarfs the human genome and is now thought to be a major factor contributing to obesity (Ridaura et al., 2013) as it is significantly altered by Western-style high-fat diets (HFDs) (David et al., 2014). However, due to the complex interaction of the diet, the microbiome, and energy expenditure, the identification of causal mediators of weight rebound remains a major unaddressed challenge. In a recent article, Thaiss et al., 2016 demonstrate how the gut microbiome is involved in post-dieting weight rebound through energy expenditure and how supplementing mice with flavonoids overrides this phenomenon, eventually resetting the rebound clock.

Long Distance Air Travel and Weight Gain

 


How Does Airplane Travel Affect the Human Body?


Airplane Travel and Blood Oxygen Saturation


Typically, in-cabin air pressure is equivalent to that seen at 5000 to 8000 ft altitude mountains.

Local hypoxia causes vasodilation (decrease in blood pressure) and increased capillary permeability, as well as increased ventilatory effort and heart rate.


Deep venous thrombosis (DVT)


The risk of DVT is not limited to travel by airplane, and long-distance travelers by car, bus or train are also at risk.



The symptoms of DVT include:


Swelling leg or arm

Pain or tenderness

Warm or red skin

Jet Lag Could Make You Gain Weight, Study Finds

Eran Elinav of the Weizmann Institute of Science told The Telegraph: "These findings provide an explanation for a long-standing and mysterious observation, namely that people with chronically disturbed day-night cycles due to repetitive jet lag or shift work have a tendency to develop obesity and other metabolic complications.


"These surprising findings may enable us to devise preventive treatments for these people to lower their risk for these complications."


Long plane journeys also disrupt our sleep pattern. Previous research has shown lack of sleep can increase hormones that increase a person's appetite - potentially another reason why regular flyers gain extra pounds.


https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/11168554/Jet-lag-doesnt-just-leave-travellers-feeling-rotten-it-is-also-being-blamed-for-making-them-fatter.html



What People Can Do Prevent Weight Gain from Jet Lag

Most people can’t simply stop taking business trips, so they will need to find other ways to combat the effects of jet lag. And no, downing a whole pot of coffee or a bunch of energy drinks is not a good idea. The following are some suggestions to help:


Do your best to sleep on the plane when traveling at night. Cover your eyes with a blindfold or take melatonin to feel sleepy at your normal bedtime.

Do not give in to your increased appetite. Be sure to get enough protein and fiber when you do eat and watch your portions.

Dehydration is common during flights, which can make you feel hungry. Make sure to drink plenty of water while traveling.

Sleep only at night, even if you are tired during the day. When you sleep during the day, you won’t feel tired at night, and that will make it harder on your body to adjust. Wait until it’s nighttime at your destination to go to sleep.

Beta Blockers - Weight Gain

 


https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-pressure/expert-answers/beta-blockers/faq-20058385   


Some beta blockers can cause an average weight gain of 2 lbs to 3 lbs in the first few months of treatment. Some people may also find it harder to lose weight while taking a beta blocker.

Metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), atenolol (Tenormin), and propranolol are more likely to cause weight gain than other beta blockers. 




In previous studies [9–11], beta blockers have been associated with long-term weight gain, but little is known about the effect of beta blockers on weight loss in response to a precise hypocaloric regimen. The obesity-promoting impact of beta blockers is not currently well understood. Resting energy expenditure and thermogenesis induced by external factors [12], such as meals and cold exposure, but also stress and anxiety, have a facultative component mediated by the sympathetic-adrenal system through catecholamines working on beta adrenoceptors. Treatment with beta blockers reduces the facultative thermogenesis by 50–100 kcal/day, which corresponds to the weight gain of 2–5 kg/year reported in clinical trials [12]. It can also result in insulin resistance, which may aggravate existing diabetes and elicit diabetes in predisposed patients. Overweight and obesity are frequently complicated with hypertension, which is often treated by beta blockers. Obesity is associated with a defective sympathetic activity, and treatment with beta blockers may further reduce facultative thermogenesis and promote weight gain. The consequence may be aggravation of hypertension, insulin resistance, and other metabolic disturbances. β-Adrenoceptor antagonists have historically been considered an effective and safe option for first-line treatment of hypertension, but very recently, it has been proposed that β-blockers should no longer be considered suitable for first-line therapy in the patient with uncomplicated hypertension because of unfavorable metabolic effects [12].

Health and wellness coaching is a relatively novel strategy with demonstrated effectiveness in assisting patients with obesisty in their efforts toward weight management [8]. Moreover, this strategy can be adopted successfully in a nutritional coaching (NC) model to specifically work with obese individuals. NC is an intervention with tremendous potential and is the focus for this review [9].


The primary aims of this review were to provide clinicians with an arsenal of reasons to help convince their patients to avoid ERDs and to introduce clinicians to the behavior-changing process of health coaching with emphasis on NC. The intention is to help practitioners acquire new tools to become more effective in promoting weight loss, which in turn should help their patients improve their health.


Harvard

Targeted behavior coaching that transforms their eating, exercise, and other habits—known as intensive lifestyle intervention—can make a difference.


The program at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital, known as Healthy Habits for Life, costs $550 and includes 12 group support and education sessions, a customized eating plan, and two visits with a personal trainer. Some programs also include counseling by telephone, email, or text message.

More recently, health coaching has also emerged as a supporting tool for health professionals to overcome behavioral barriers (9, 10, 11). Whilst no consensual definition exists, health coaching is considered to be a goal-oriented, client-centered partnership focused on health, and based on a process of enlightenment and empowerment of the client (12, 13). The use of health coaching is widespread and appears to be ever-increasing. Indeed, a study commissioned by the International Coaching Federation in 2016 reported that the total number of professional coach practitioners worldwide is ∼53,300, with most of these located in higher-income regions, and that the US estimated market value for personal coaching was $1.02 billion (14).

Water Consumption Increases Weight Loss During a Hypocaloric Diet Intervention in Middle-aged and Older adults

If recent trends continue, 86% of US adults will be overweight or obese by the year 2030 (1). Middle-aged and older adults (aged ≥40 years) are at increased risk for obesity and ~70% in this segment of the population are currently overweight or obese (2). Age-related weight gain may be attributed to several factors including a reduction in energy expenditure, a reduction in energy requirements, and an increased susceptibility to energy overconsumption (3–6). Obesity among older adults is associated with impaired physical function, increased morbidity and mortality, and greater health care costs (7–9). Thus, identifying successful weight management strategies for middle-aged and older adults has significant public health implications.

To our knowledge, this is the first randomized controlled trial investigating the influence of increased water consumption on weight loss. Our results indicate that when combined with a hypocaloric diet, consuming 500 ml (~16 fl oz) of water prior to each of the three main daily meals (1.5 l/d) leads to ~2 kg greater weight loss over 12 weeks as compared to a hypocaloric diet alone (Figure 2), among middle-aged and older adults. This difference was attributed to a 44% greater rate of weight loss among water group participants compared to nonwater participants over the 12-week period. This effect may be due in part to an acute reduction in meal EI following water ingestion, which we observed at the baseline laboratory test meal studies. A reduction in meal EI following water consumption is accompanied by increased sensations of fullness, which may facilitate a lower meal EI following water ingestion. However, it is not clear from our findings how long this effect is sustained, as we did not observe significant differences between meal conditions after the 12-week weight loss intervention.

Ozempic for weight loss: Does it work, and what do experts recommend?

Research in Context: Obesity and metabolic health

The complexities of metabolism and body weight

Losing weight and reversing obesity might seem straightforward: eat fewer calories than you burn. But that’s not as easy as it sounds. This special Research in Context feature explores the many factors that affect the body’s metabolism and weight, some of which are difficult to control.


Losing weight and reversing obesity might seem straightforward: eat fewer calories than you burn. But many of us know that’s not as easy as it sounds.


“I think that most people overestimate how much conscious control we have, over long periods of time, over both the amount of food that we eat as well as the type of food that we eat,” says NIH metabolism researcher Dr. Kevin Hall.
