“None of the participants taking the vinegar experienced any adverse or ill effects. These findings suggest that apple cider vinegar promotes weight loss and improves metabolic parameters in young people with overweight or obesity.”

“About 22% of the participants who did not lose weight still returned to normal blood sugar levels after one year, showing that remission can occur without weight loss. Within this group, those who returned to normal blood sugar regulation had a 71% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes over up to 10 years of follow-up.”

“The second group followed a daily calorie restriction (about 34% less than baseline needs) to match the same total weekly calorie reduction. Both groups also participated in a year-long behavioral weight loss program that included group support and a goal of 300 minutes of moderate exercise weekly.”

“Among women who lost 20 or more pounds but gained a portion of the weight back, risk was reduced by 23 percent. These findings point to the importance of public health interventions that promote weight loss among women as a means to reduce cancer risk.”

“Reducing energy stores through bariatric surgery or other weight-loss therapies restores insulin sensitivity and reduces cancer risk. The authors collected data from an ongoing trial with over 4,000 participants investigating the long-term effects of bariatric surgery in adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes.”

More than 650 million adults are obese worldwide (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/obesity-and-overweight). Findings from a new study suggest that alpha-lipoic acid promotes weight loss in obese adults.

“Supplementing nursing mouse mothers with nicotinamide riboside promotes maternal weight loss, boosts milk production/quality, and leads to offspring that have better motor coordination, better learning/memory, less anxiety and more resilient to stress.”

“Alternate-day fasting resulted in slightly more weight loss than the other fasting methods but also modestly lowered total cholesterol, triglycerides, and non-HDL cholesterol compared to time-restricted eating.”

“The beneficial effects of running went beyond tumor formation and growth, extending to cancer-associated weight loss, a process termed cachexia that is seen in cancer patients. Mice that exercised regularly showed no signs of cancer-associated weight loss in the researchers' lung cancer mouse model.”

“Many weight-loss efforts focus on the number on the scale, but long-term metabolic health may also depend on where fat is lost. A new study examined whether losing visceral fat, the fat stored around abdominal organs, was linked to lasting metabolic health after structured lifestyle programs.”
