High-protein hypocaloric feeding may evolve as the best strategy during the initial phase of critical illness.

Consider implementing high-protein hypocaloric feeding strategies for critically ill patients to improve outcomes.

Most relative risks (RRs) for protective associations ranged from 0.87 to 0.96 per daily serving change, while harmful associations ranged from 1.06 to 1.15 per daily serving change.

Understanding these RRs can help in making informed dietary choices to mitigate CMD risk.

Most identified associations were protective (n = 38) and a smaller number were harmful (n = 24), with a higher risk associated with higher intake.

Emphasizing protective dietary factors can aid in reducing CMD risk.

The efficacy of BCAA supplementation has been a source of controversy in the sports nutrition field.

Practitioners should be cautious and consider the ongoing debate regarding the effectiveness of BCAA supplementation.

There was no significant difference in the rating of perceived exertion between partial and full back squat exercises at 10RM.

Both squat variations can be used interchangeably without affecting perceived exertion.

The weighted mean energy of restaurant meals was lower only in China (719 kcal) compared to the US (1088 kcal; P<0.001).

Practitioners should consider regional differences in meal energy content when advising clients.

Fast food meals contained 33% less energy than full service meals (P<0.001).

Fast food options may be perceived as lower in energy, which could influence dietary choices.

Sensitivity analyses showed similar results regarding the association of EPA and DHA levels with cardiovascular outcomes.

The consistency of results across analyses reinforces the conclusion that EPA and DHA levels do not impact cardiovascular outcomes.

Food insecurity is a powerful social determinant of health that impacts health outcomes.

Addressing food insecurity is crucial for improving health outcomes.

The Maintain IT model integrates factors not typically examined together to elucidate processes for behaviour change maintenance.

Practitioners should consider a holistic approach that combines various factors influencing behaviour change.

Discontinuing GLP-1RA treatment leads to a pooled overall mean weight regain of 2.20 kg in participants taking liraglutide and 9.69 kg in those prescribed semaglutide/tirzepatide.

Practitioners should consider the likelihood of weight regain when discontinuing GLP-1RA therapy.

The proportion of weight regained after discontinuation of GLP-1RA therapy is proportional to the amount originally lost.

Weight loss strategies should account for the likelihood of proportional weight regain after stopping GLP-1RA therapy.

Discontinuation of GLP-1RA treatment leads to weight regain, regardless of lifestyle interventions.

Clinicians should inform patients that stopping GLP-1RA may lead to weight regain despite lifestyle efforts.

The DAROC clinical practice guidelines for diabetes care- 2018 include recommendations for diagnostic criteria and treatment goals for various populations.

Practitioners should refer to the DAROC guidelines for comprehensive diabetes care recommendations.

Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is more cost-effective than semaglutide over a 5-year time horizon, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of -$595,532/QALY.

Practitioners may consider ESG as a more cost-effective option for treating class II obesity compared to semaglutide.

Liraglutide has additional benefits in reducing cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Liraglutide may be beneficial for patients with T2DM beyond weight loss.

Over 10 years, the MTM intervention is anticipated to potentially be associated with 18,257,000 averted hospitalizations and reductions in health care expenditures of $484.5 billion.

Long-term implementation of MTMs could significantly reduce hospitalizations and healthcare costs.

Only a small fraction of the population with obesity are optimally treated.

There is a need for improved strategies to treat obesity effectively.

Fish was the largest dietary contributor to n-3 fatty acid intake among the top 15% of consumers.

Encouraging fish consumption can significantly enhance n-3 fatty acid intake among those who are already consuming higher amounts.

Multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MF-BIA) is an acceptable alternative for tracking changes in fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) during a combined diet and exercise program in young, athletic men.

Practitioners can use MF-BIA for monitoring body composition changes in similar populations.

The study of exercise as a preventative or therapeutic treatment is increasingly interdisciplinary and impactful.

Researchers and practitioners should collaborate across disciplines to enhance exercise interventions.

Vegan diets can be health-promoting and may offer certain important advantages compared to typical Western eating patterns.

Health professionals should recognize the potential health benefits of vegan diets.

A precise and practical vegan nutrition guide for health professionals is lacking.

There is an urgent need for health professionals to have access to a vegan nutrition guide.

There is no single mode of physical activity that is superior for weight loss or prevention of weight gain.

Advise clients that various forms of physical activity can be effective for weight management, and they should choose what they enjoy.
