Voedingsadvies El MondoResearch Question:
The role of macronutrients, the intake of certain foods or dietary habits in the development of obesity is not clear. It was therefore carried out this review article.
What food reduce the body weight patterns?
Study Design:
The overview article contained cohort studies of minimal 1 year follow-up, case-control studies and Rcts of minimum 6 months follow-up. The age was 18-70 years.
Results and conclusions:
The researchers found probably evidence that a high intake of dietary fiber and nuts less weight gain predicted while a high intake of meat more weight gain predicted.
Suggestive evidence was found for a protective role of whole grains, grain products, fibers and high-fat dairy products against weight gain. Also there was suggestive evidence for a protective role of both fiber and vegetable intake against the increase in waist circumference.
Also suggestive evidence was found for a high intake of refined grains, sweets and desserts in predicting weight gain and for refined (white) bread and high energy density in predicting a large increase in waist circumference.
The results suggested that the portion size was not important in predicting changes in body weight or waist circumference.
The researchers concluded that a diet with plenty of fiber and dairy products and less refined grains, meat and sugar-rich foods and drinks was associated with less weight gain in prospective cohort studies.
