Abstract:Obesity is a major public health problem in the United States, and it has long been known that dietary restrictions could lead to a higher incidence of obesity-related complications in the general population. However, recent studies have shown that dietary habits may be associated with obesity, and this is especially true for those who are overweight, obese, or have other risk factors for obesity.
Objective:Obesity is a major public health problem in the United States, and it has long been known that dietary restrictions could lead to a higher incidence of obesity-related complications. We conducted a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the effects of a high-fat diet on the incidence of obesity-related complications in adults with risk factors for obesity.
Methods:We prospectively conducted a multicentre, double-blind, randomised trial to evaluate the effect of a high-fat diet on the incidence of obesity-related complications in adults with risk factors for obesity. Participants were randomized to an initial diet containing no more than 5% of body weight per day, followed by a high-fat diet followed by a high-fat diet containing ≥20% of body weight per day for a minimum of 12 weeks. The diet consisted of three separate diets in which all calories were from plant sterols, orlistat, a synthetic lipase inhibitor, and three separate diets containing no more than 5% of body weight per day. In addition, the diet contained 20% to 30% of body weight per day, with no more than 30% of body weight per day. The participants were followed by a 12-week follow-up, and the primary endpoint was to determine whether participants were still in the high-fat diet for 12 weeks. Secondary endpoints included the proportion of participants still in the high-fat diet for 12 weeks, and the change from baseline in BMI, waist circumference, weight, or waist-to-height ratio (the ratio of weight to height to height). The primary end point was the incidence of obesity-related complications in participants who were still in the diet for 12 weeks. Participants who completed the trial had a mean BMI of ≥27.8 kg/m2, and participants who were still in the diet for 12 weeks had a mean BMI of ≥28.3 kg/m2. The incidence of BMI, waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio were calculated by dividing the proportion of participants who completed the high-fat diet for 12 weeks by the proportion who completed the high-fat diet for 12 weeks. We also evaluated the effect of the high-fat diet on the percentage of participants who were still in the diet for 12 weeks.
Results:A total of 726 participants met the primary endpoint, of which 209 (33%) completed the trial and 11 (0.6%) completed the high-fat diet for 12 weeks. At 12 weeks, the high-fat diet resulted in a mean BMI of 28.4 kg/m2, mean waist circumference of 100 cm, mean weight of 100 kg, and mean waist circumference of 84 cm. The mean percentage of participants who were still in the high-fat diet for 12 weeks was 4.3%, and participants who were still in the high-fat diet for 12 weeks were 1.1% and 1.3%, respectively. Participants who completed the high-fat diet for 12 weeks were still in the diet for 12 weeks at a mean BMI of 27.6 kg/m2. All participants who were still in the diet for 12 weeks were still in the diet for 12 weeks at a mean BMI of 28.3 kg/m2.
Conclusions:Our results suggest that a high-fat diet does not lead to a higher incidence of obesity-related complications, but that this could be related to a change in lifestyle that could be beneficial for those at risk of obesity.
However, recent studies have shown that dietary restrictions may also have an effect on the incidence of obesity-related complications in the general population. We prospectively conducted a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the effects of a high-fat diet on the incidence of obesity-related complications in adults with risk factors for obesity. Participants were randomized to an initial diet containing no more than 5% of body weight per day, followed by a high-fat diet followed by a high-fat diet containing no more than 5% of body weight per day for a minimum of 12 weeks.You can buy Orlistat (Xenical/Alli) as an over-the-counter alternative to Wegovy in the UK.
However, Orlistat is a very different type of weight-loss medication, and research suggests it’s not as effective as Wegovy in supporting weight loss.
Wegovy and Orlistat are weight-loss medications approved for use in the UK. However, they are different medications with distinct dosing schedules, costs, and mechanisms of action on the body.
Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor. Lipases are gut enzymes that break down fat from food, enabling the gut to transport fat into the body to be burnt for energy or stored in our fat cells for later use.
Orlistat blocks lipases, preventing some of the dietary fat from our meals from being digested. This leads to fewer calories being absorbed, which can support weight loss.
Orlistat is a prescription medication produced by two pharmaceutical companies in the UK:
Wegovy is a weight-loss jab manufactured by Novo Nordisk. It’s a weekly weight-loss injection with semaglutide as the active ingredient.
Semaglutide is a that helps reduce hunger and appetite, allowing you to eat fewer calories, lose weight, and manage your blood sugar levels.
Wegovy is approved in the UK for individuals living with obesity to help them eat fewer calories and lose weight.
The over-the-counter version of Orlistat will cost around £18 a month, so it’s a very affordable medication.
In comparison, buying Wegovy and the injectable pens required for four weeks from Second Nature will cost £229 a month, rising to £299.
Orlistat is an affordable medication that is generally well-tolerated. However, it’s less effective than Wegovy. Wegovy is twice as effective as Orlistat for weight loss after one year.
So, if you’re looking for the most affordable weight-loss pill you can purchase over the counter, then Orlistat could be an option.
However, if you have a higher budget and are looking for the most effective weight-loss injection in the UK, semaglutide is a better choice.
Semaglutide is designed as an additional tool for weight management and, in most cases, shouldn’t be considered a lifelong medication.
Instead, it should be used to help you kickstart your weight loss and healthy journey while you commit to living a healthier lifestyle.
Ideally, we’d be able to lose weight without medication and lifestyle changes would be enough to support weight loss in the long term.
We’d generally recommend trying Second Nature’s before considering a weight-loss jab.
Changing your habits is the most sustainable way to achieve long-term weight loss, and it’s also less expensive.
At Second Nature, we’ve been trusted by the NHS since 2017 to support people with type 2 diabetes and obesity to lose weight, manage their blood sugar levels, and lead healthier lifestyles for the long term.
In 2022, the NHS in the BMJ that compared the weight loss outcomes of five providers in the National Diabetes Prevention Programme.
Second Nature was more than twice as effective at supporting weight loss than the other four providers.
However, if you’ve decided to try semaglutide (when it’s available) but need support in making positive changes to your lifestyle, Second Nature could be an option for you. But it’s worth noting that we have strict eligibility criteria.
