High overall or unhealthful low-fat diet (LFD) scores are associated with increased likelihood of steatosis (OR = 1.65 for overall LFD, OR = 1.41 for unhealthful LFD).

Avoiding high scores in unhealthful low-fat diets may reduce the risk of hepatic steatosis.

Muscle strength and hypertrophy gains obtained in 3 weeks of resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR) are not maintained after 12 days of detraining.

Practitioners should be aware that gains from BFR training may not be sustained without continued training.

MyoPS rates were comparable between resistance-only exercise and concurrent exercise groups before and after training.

Both resistance-only and concurrent exercise can effectively promote muscle protein synthesis in moderately active individuals.

Concurrent exercise did not compromise the anabolic response to resistance-only exercise, before or after training.

Practitioners can incorporate concurrent exercise without fear of diminishing the benefits of resistance training.

There were no significant differences between groups for the remaining outcomes, although a small effect size favoring TRAD was observed for the middle region of the pectoralis major (g = -0.25).

Practitioners should note that while TRAD may have a slight advantage, it is not statistically significant for all outcomes.

Using LNCSBs as a substitute for SSBs was associated with small improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors without evidence of harm.

Practitioners can consider LNCSBs as a safe alternative to SSBs for improving health outcomes.

Protein interacts with carbohydrates, fats, and dietary energy density to influence calorie intake and metabolic physiology.

Understanding protein's role can help in designing effective dietary interventions.

Considering interactions among dietary components can help reconcile different models of obesity.

Practitioners should consider dietary interactions when developing obesity interventions.

Fat adaptation increases rates of fat oxidation during submaximal cycling at 63% of peak power output.

Incorporating a high-fat diet may enhance fat oxidation during endurance cycling.

Rates of fat oxidation remain elevated after glycogen restoration in individuals adapted to a high-fat diet.

Athletes may benefit from fat adaptation even after restoring glycogen levels.

Maximal rates of fat oxidation occur at approximately 57% of peak power output.

Cyclists should aim for around 57% of peak power output to maximize fat oxidation.

The intervention achieved 100% attendance and adherence to self-monitoring.

Practitioners can implement remote monitoring strategies to enhance adherence in older adults.

Estimates using individual calibration were generally more accurate than those using group calibration (14% vs 16% error).

Individual calibration may enhance the accuracy of PAEE assessments.

PA at months 2 to 4 was significantly correlated with PA at 1 year (rs = .29-.35, P < .01).

Early engagement in physical activity can predict long-term adherence.

Dietary fat may promote obesity.

Practitioners should consider the role of dietary fat in weight management strategies.

Older patients were 3% more likely to have weight loss (odds ratio [OR], 1.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02–1.05).

Practitioners should consider age as a factor when assessing weight loss potential in T2D patients.

Reductions in fat mass were similar across all protein intake groups, with LP, MP, and HP showing reductions of 1.7%, 3.7%, and 3.1% respectively (P > 0.05).

Fat loss outcomes may not significantly differ based on protein intake levels in older women undergoing resistance training.

10 nights of moderate hypoxia improved glucose homeostasis in obese men.

Moderate hypoxia may be a potential intervention for improving insulin sensitivity in obese individuals.

Tirzepatide achieved similar 12-month TBWL% as R-ESG (13.2% vs. 13.4%, p = .9) and significantly more than semaglutide (13.2% vs. 8.1%, p = .04).

Tirzepatide may be a viable alternative for weight loss in patients post-sleeve gastrectomy, potentially outperforming semaglutide.

The policy of Nutrition Facts added-sugar labeling is associated with a reduction of 30,000 new cancer cases and 17,100 cancer deaths among US adults over a lifetime.

Implementing added-sugar labeling could significantly reduce cancer incidence and mortality.

The policy is associated with a gain of 116,000 quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) among US adults.

The policy could lead to significant improvements in life quality and longevity.

Additional industry reformulation to reduce added-sugar amounts would double the impact of the policy.

Encouraging food industry reformulation could significantly enhance public health outcomes.

Both FDA-approved gastric balloon systems (gas-filled IGB and fluid-filled IGB) had the same effectiveness in terms of percent total body weight loss at balloon removal.

Both balloon systems can be considered equally effective for weight loss.

The gas-filled IGB had fewer serious adverse events and better tolerability than the fluid-filled IGB.

The gas-filled IGB may be a safer option for patients.
