Objetivo: el objetivo de este estudio es determinar los efectos de diferentes frecuencias de comidas en la pérdida de peso, la composición corporal y algunos parámetros bioquímicos en mujeres con sobrepeso u obesas. Introducción: a pesar de los efectos positivos de realizar comidas frecuentes en el tratamiento de la obesidad, no existen conclusiones definitivas al respecto. Key words: Obesity, Food frequency, Body weight, Fat mass, Serum cholesterol, Insulin. Only the decrease in fasting insulin levels in the six-meal group was found higher than that of the three-meal group.Ĭonclusion: in conclusion, body weight, body composition, and lipid profiling are not affected by the number of meals when weight-loss diets are prepared with adequate energy restrictions and sufficient and balanced nutrition. Only serum fasting insulin levels decreased significantly in the six meals/day group (p 0.05). Body weight, body mass index, fat mass (kg), fat mass percentage (%), and waist circumference (cm) decreased significantly in both groups (p 0.05). Results: forty-three participants finished the study period. Some biochemical parameters (lipid profile, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin) were analyzed at the beginning and at the end of the study. Anthropometric measurements and 24-hour dietary records were taken for each week during the study period.
Individualistic weight-loss diet programs were implemented (three meals/day for one group and six meals/day for the other group) with a three-month follow-up. Methods: sixty-five adult overweight or obese females were recruited from the Endocrine Department of Ankara Gülhane Education and Research Hospital. Objective: the aim of this study is to determine the effects of different meal frequencies on weight loss, body composition and some biochemical parameters of overweight or obese females. Introduction: despite the positive effects of frequent meals on obesity treatment, there have been no definite conclusions on the matter.
