51% of women randomized to the POWER-remote intervention lost ≥5% of their baseline body weight at 6 months, compared to 12% in the self-directed arm.

Remote weight loss interventions can be effective for breast cancer survivors.

Lifestyle interventions can effectively modify body weight during pregnancy.

Practitioners should consider lifestyle interventions for weight management in pregnant patients.

Postpartum lifestyle interventions among women with a history of GDM have shown reduced incidence of diabetes.

Postpartum care should include lifestyle interventions to lower diabetes risk in women with GDM history.

Altitude training (real or simulated) presents nutritional issues for competition preparation.

Athletes should address nutritional needs when engaging in altitude training to optimize performance.

Ultraprocessed foods facilitate overconsumption and may contribute to the development of obesity.

Practitioners should be aware of the potential for ultraprocessed foods to lead to overconsumption and obesity.

Properties of ultraprocessed foods, such as high energy density and low volume, contribute to overconsumption.

Understanding these properties can help practitioners guide consumers towards healthier food choices.

Athletes should ingest some form of carbohydrate (other than fructose) during moderate-intensity exercise lasting > 90 min.

Endurance athletes should prioritize carbohydrate intake during prolonged exercise.

Athletes should consume 100 ml of a dilute carbohydrate solution every 10 min and increase the concentration to approximately 10 g 100 ml-1.

Athletes should follow specific guidelines for carbohydrate solution intake during exercise.

High-velocity resistance training and creatine supplementation are safe interventions for aging adults.

These interventions can be safely recommended for older adults looking to improve fitness.

High sugar consumption is linked to weight gain and should be reduced to a daily maximum of 100 kcal for women and 150 kcal for men.

Practitioners should advise clients to limit added sugar intake to recommended levels to manage weight.

Non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) may support energy intake reduction and promote glycemic control and weight management when substituted for added sugars.

Practitioners may consider recommending NNS as a strategy to reduce added sugar intake.

Plant-based diets with healthful complex carbohydrates reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Encourage patients to adopt plant-based diets with complex carbohydrates to lower CVD risk.

High-dose omega-3 fatty acids lower triglycerides, reduce CVD, and prevent coronary plaque progression.

Consider recommending high-dose omega-3 supplements for patients at risk of CVD.

Individuals should minimize saturated fats and refined carbohydrates, eliminate trans-fat, and increase fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and fish or other omega-3 fatty acids.

Advise patients to follow these dietary guidelines to improve heart health.

At week 72, mean absolute T2D predicted risk score reductions were significantly greater in tirzepatide groups (5 mg, 12.4%; 10 mg, 14.4%; 15 mg, 14.7%) versus placebo (0.7%).

The specific dose of tirzepatide can be tailored to achieve greater reductions in diabetes risk.

For participants with and without prediabetes, risk reductions were significantly greater in tirzepatide groups versus placebo.

Tirzepatide may be beneficial for a broader range of patients, including those with prediabetes.

Cancer guidelines recommend that overweight or obese breast cancer survivors lose weight and that those with a normal BMI maintain stable body weight.

Practitioners should follow cancer guidelines for weight management in breast cancer survivors.

INV-202 produced a significant mean weight loss of 3.5 kg (3.3% compared with placebo participants who gained a mean 0.6 kg [0.5%]).

INV-202 may be an effective treatment for weight loss in individuals with metabolic syndrome.

The beneficial effect of whey protein on lean mass is more robust when combined with energy restriction.

Combining whey protein with energy restriction may yield better results for increasing lean mass.

Group interventions were favoured over one‐to‐one interventions for weight loss at 12 months (−1.9 kg).

Practitioners may consider group interventions as more effective for weight loss in overweight adults.

Participants of group interventions were more likely to attain ≥5% weight loss at 12 months relative to one‐to‐one interventions (relative risk = 1.58).

Group interventions may enhance the chances of participants achieving significant weight loss.

Group multi‐component lifestyle interventions are superior for weight loss compared to one‐to‐one interventions.

For effective weight management, group interventions should be prioritized over one-to-one formats.

Body fat was reduced from 20.3% to 12.2% before the first competition and declined to 11.6% before the second competition.

Practitioners can expect significant fat loss in experienced competitors during contest preparation.

Fat-free mass increased by 2.1% before the first competition and peaked at 4.6% above baseline in the recovery period.

Practitioners should note that muscle gain can occur during recovery after competition.
