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).

Losing weight isn’t easy, but health coaches have a track record of success in supporting their clients through the weight loss process. They do this by relying on evidence-based coaching strategies that include setting the right types of goals, exploring unhealthy beliefs, and making specific plans to address the behaviors that support weight loss, like planning and preparing meals, coping with cravings, and moving your body.

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.

The use of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to reduce body weight and food cravings: A systematic review and meta-analysis

 According to the World Obesity Federation,1 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men will be overweight or obese by 2030, which represents 1 billion people worldwide. 

the global economic costs of obesity stand at $2 trillion every year.3

Although excess energy consumption relative to energy expenditure is the most common cause of obesity, the aetiology of obesity is highly complex and includes multi-factorial factors, which include genetic, physiologic, environmental, psychological, social, economic, and political factors.4, 5 Hedonistic responses to food, such as strong cravings and a difficult-to-resist need to consume certain food items, are characterized by their intensity and specificity.6, 7

A number of management strategies for obesity have been offered, ranging from lifestyle, cognitive behavioural intervention, pharmacotherapies to bariatric surgery17 with variable outcomes of weight loss

Participants were randomized to VLED (420–554 kcal d−1) or LED (810 kcal d−1) for 8 weeks, followed by a fixed-energy (1200 kcal d−1) diet with food and two diet products daily for 8 weeks. In all, 192 participants were randomized. 

 Mean weight losses in VLED and LED groups were 11.4 kg (standard error: 0.5) and 10.7 kg (0.5) at week 8 and 13.3 kg (0.7) and 12.2 kg (0.6) at week 16.

Significant adverse effects comparing VLED and LED, were bad breath: 34 (35%) vs. 21 (22%), intolerance to cold: 39 (41%) vs. 17 (18%) and flatulence: 43 (45%) vs. 28 (29%) for VLED and LED at 8 weeks (P < 0.05 in all cases). The VLED and LED regimens were equally successful in inducing weight loss.
