Personalized nutrition has the potential to contribute to better public health.

Implementing personalized nutrition strategies could be a valuable approach for public health initiatives.

Research on digital behavior change interventions (DBCIs) for obesity has grown rapidly since 2007.

Practitioners should be aware of the increasing focus on DBCIs in obesity management.

The modern food environment is characterized by increased availability of palatable, energy-rich, nutrient-poor foods.

Practitioners should be aware of the prevalence of unhealthy food options in the environment.

Long-term adherence to weight loss solutions offered by diet culture remains a challenge.

Practitioners should consider the challenges clients face in adhering to weight loss diets.

Consumer behavior trends favor locally sourced, organic, and minimally processed foods.

Practitioners should promote locally sourced and minimally processed food options to clients.

Consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk.

Clinicians should consider the impact of UPFs when advising patients on cardiovascular health.

Current dietary counselling in clinical practice often overlooks the potential adverse impact of UPFs.

Healthcare providers should enhance nutritional guidance to include the risks of UPFs.

Body types influence variations in fat storage, muscle development, and energy expenditure.

Understanding body types can help tailor fitness and nutrition programs.

Labeling foods as 'good' or 'bad' can lead to disordered eating and feelings of failure.

Practitioners should avoid labeling foods in a binary manner to prevent negative psychological effects.

Data on bone mineral density (BMD) parameters are scarce, with a possible benefit from a high-protein diet.

Practitioners may consider high-protein diets for potential benefits to bone health, but more research is needed.

Plant protein was inversely associated with the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality.

Increasing plant protein intake may improve longevity and reduce mortality risk.

Meat is a nutrient-dense food that provides essential nutrients such as amino acids, iron, zinc, and B vitamins.

Practitioners should recognize the nutritional benefits of including meat in diets.

The beneficial nutrients in fresh, unprocessed meat generally outweigh nutrients of concern.

Emphasizing the nutrient benefits of meat can help address dietary concerns.

The review evaluates the evidence related to meat in various dietary patterns and health outcomes.

Understanding the role of meat in diets can guide dietary recommendations.

The average weight nadir was reached after two segments, co-occurring with the most beneficial changes in laboratory parameters.

Practitioners should focus on the initial segments of treatment for optimal results.

Metabolic health, rather than obesity, is a key predictor of adverse events in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) prevention.

Practitioners should prioritize assessing metabolic health over BMI in cardiovascular risk evaluations.

The Society for Behavioral Medicine supports permanent federal funding for Food is Medicine services to address nutrition-related chronic conditions.

Practitioners should advocate for permanent funding for nutrition-related services.

Permanent funding for Food is Medicine services will allow states to provide nutrition supports as a healthcare service.

Permanent funding could enhance the integration of nutrition services into healthcare.

MetFlex to fat displayed satisfactory test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.70) for several outcomes.

This method can reliably assess metabolic flexibility to high-fat meals in healthy individuals.

Overnight changes in substrate oxidation following a high-fat dinner meal represent a unique aspect of MetFlex.

Practitioners should consider overnight metabolic responses when assessing dietary impacts.

Postprandial plasma lipids and lipoproteins were examined after a 2-week low-carbohydrate diet compared to a 2-week low-fat diet.

This study provides insights into how different dietary approaches may affect lipid and lipoprotein levels post-meal.

Supervised exercise therapy (SET) programs are cost-effective for US adults with chronic conditions, showing a positive return on investment (ROI) ranging from 1.15:1 to 1.7:1.

Healthcare providers can consider implementing SET programs as a cost-effective intervention for managing chronic conditions.

SET programs lead to cost savings from reduced healthcare costs or treatment charges, with savings reported between $121 and $2834.

Implementing SET can reduce overall healthcare costs for patients with chronic conditions.

The combination of verbal instructions and mirror self-motor observation attenuated the decrease in torque output during isokinetic contractions.

Combining verbal cues with mirror observation may enhance performance in resistance training.
