Toronto 14th August : While following a diet low in calories can aid in losing those extra pounds however, it’s not able to aid those with difficult-to-treat obesity shed pounds and maintain it off, according to an analysis that emphasizes the need to exercise in those with these conditions.Understanding the distinct phenotypes of obesity is crucial to uncover the individual differences in losing weight.
For “diet-resistant” obesity — those who are in the top 20 percent of the percentage of weight loss after the low-calorie diet exercising should be the first priority because it reduces fat mass and increases the skeletal muscle’s metabolism as per the latest study released in the journal eBioMedicine.
“For those who suffer from an overweight body and have had huge difficulties losing weight The message to them is that you are in the group of people for whom exercise is crucial.
It will aid in losing pounds,” said Dr.Ruth McPherson, Professor at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Medicine.
The research team analyzed the clinical data from more than five thousand records.In the end, 228 files were analyzed and one subset of 20 women with overweight were selected to be supervised closely exercise program consisting of 18 sessions that progressed with weights and treadmills, which were completed three times a every week for six weeks.
By using bioinformatics and machine learning methods to analyze the skeletal muscle results, it is evident that exercise improves the skeletal muscle’s metabolism and increases the ability to shed weight for people with overweight who are to be diet-resistant.
They are the kind of people with difficult-to-treat obesity that are often accused of not adhering to their diets when they haven’t lost weight with diet restrictions.
The stakes are very high: The amount of those who are obese or overweight has increased to epidemic proportions around the world and obesity is an important risk factor in many of chronic illnesses.
“If you examine a large number of overweight people and trying to shed weight they don’t respond to exercise in a significant way.But we’ve now discovered that those in this (diet-resistant) obesity phenotype actually do, according to Dr.Robert Dent, an endocrinologist at the university.
“What the research findings are telling us is that if we find people with overweight who don’t respond to dietary restrictions and aren’t responding to diet, they should be moved into exercise.”
The study could transform the science of weight loss programs so that they can be tailored to the specific needs of patients.
