Substitution of LCSBs for SSBs is associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality (RR, 0.95) and total mortality (RR, 0.96).

Switching from SSBs to LCSBs may contribute to lower cardiovascular and total mortality.

Both Colorado and Alabama participants lost significant amounts of weight after a 16-week intervention (CO 13.2 ± 4.9 kg, AL 12.5 ± 5.6 kg) with no significant difference between the states (P = 0.9315).

Weight loss interventions can be effective in different regions without significant differences in outcomes.

Daily consumption of a protein‐based, multi‐ingredient nutritional supplement resulted in gains in strength (Δ ∑1RM: +14 ± 4 kg, p=0.001) and lean mass (Δ WBLM: +1.2 ± 0.3 kg, p=0.001) independent of exercise in older men.

Practitioners can consider recommending a multi-ingredient nutritional supplement to older men to enhance strength and lean mass.

The multi‐ingredient nutritional supplement enhanced exercise‐mediated improvements in upper body strength compared to placebo after a 12-week exercise training program.

Incorporating a multi-ingredient supplement may optimize strength gains from exercise in older adults.

Resistance training at both longer and shorter mean muscle lengths produces similar hypertrophic effects.

Practitioners can use a variety of muscle lengths in resistance training without significantly affecting hypertrophy outcomes.

A randomized behavioral intervention with recommendations to consume a high fiber diet was conducted.

Practitioners may consider implementing high fiber dietary recommendations in behavioral interventions for gestational weight management.

Short-term consumption of high-fat, low-carbohydrate diets combined with daily physical activity can dramatically alter patterns of fuel utilization and exercise responses.

Practitioners should consider incorporating HFLC diets with physical activity to enhance fuel utilization and exercise performance.

HFLC diets interact with endurance training to modulate both acute and chronic responses to exercise.

Endurance athletes may benefit from dietary strategies that include HFLC diets to optimize training responses.

Fat-adaptation protocols can enhance performance for certain individual athletes.

Exercise physiologists and sport nutritionists should consider fat-adaptation strategies for athletes who may benefit from them.

A 5-day high-fat diet followed by 1-day carbohydrate restoration resulted in a 45% increase in fat oxidation and a 30% decrease in carbohydrate oxidation during cycling at 70% VO2 peak.

Practitioners should consider the impact of high-fat diets on fat and carbohydrate metabolism during endurance activities.

Higher weekly set volumes produced a detectable advantage for muscle hypertrophy (1.8 cm²) but not maximal strength (3.48 kg).

Practitioners should consider higher training volumes for promoting muscle growth.

Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption is independently associated with noncommunicable diseases.

Reducing sugar-sweetened beverage consumption may help mitigate the risk of noncommunicable diseases.

Drinking 1L or more water per day was associated with significant decreases in fasting insulin, HOMA, triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, and blood pressure over 12 mo.

Encouraging increased water intake may improve metabolic health markers in overweight women.

Drinking 1L or more water per day was associated with significantly increased odds of recovering from the metabolic syndrome over 12 mo (OR: 3.9, 95%CI: 1.7–8.8, p = 0.001).

Increasing water intake may enhance recovery from metabolic syndrome in overweight women.

Performance in a subsequent time-trial improved by 8% for the FAT diet compared to the CHO diet.

Competitive cyclists may achieve better performance by incorporating fat adaptation strategies.

A 5-day high-fat diet followed by 1-day carbohydrate restoration resulted in a 45% increase in fat oxidation and a 30% decrease in carbohydrate oxidation during cycling at 70% VO2 peak.

Cyclists may benefit from high-fat diets for improved fat oxidation during endurance activities.

Selecting carbohydrate sources to reduce dietary glycemic index (GI) is a promising weight management strategy.

Clinicians may consider recommending lower GI carbohydrate sources to help manage weight in obese patients.

Patients on dialysis achieved a mean total body weight loss of 7.8% (SD 6.1) after being prescribed semaglutide.

Semaglutide may be an effective weight loss intervention for patients on dialysis.

48.2% of patients who were ineligible for transplant due to elevated body mass index achieved waitlist activation after successful weight loss.

Successful weight loss with semaglutide can enhance transplant eligibility for patients.

GLP-1RAs promote weight loss and improve metabolic health.

GLP-1RAs can be utilized to aid in weight management and metabolic health improvement.

Phase 2 trials of retatrutide report unprecedented weight reductions comparable to bariatric surgery.

Retatrutide may provide an effective alternative to surgical weight loss methods.

Weight loss was consistently larger in the incretin intervention groups than in placebo or lifestyle intervention comparators.

Incretin therapies may be more effective for weight loss compared to lifestyle changes or placebo.

Semaglutide initiated 6 months post LSG results in significantly greater absolute weight loss of 14.03 ± 5.26 kg compared to 5.63 ± 6.25 kg in controls from 6 to 12 months post LSG (p < 0.0001).

Practitioners may consider semaglutide as an effective adjunct therapy for weight management in patients post-sleeve gastrectomy.

Semaglutide therapy leads to a higher percentage weight loss of 12.61% ± 4.11% compared to 4.84% ± 5.18% in controls from 6 to 12 months post LSG (p < 0.0001).

Semaglutide may be recommended for patients post-surgery to enhance weight loss outcomes.
