The effectiveness of couples' lifestyle interventions on weight change: A systematic review and meta-analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials.

Lifestyle interventions aiming to reduce excess body weight have been focusing on individuals living with overweight or obesity. However, many health-related behaviors including eating are concordant in couples indicating they might share an obesity risk or support each other's weight loss efforts. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was to assess the weight change effects of lifestyle interventions targeting couples in a romantic relationship regardless of marital status or sexual preference compared to individuals or no intervention.

Response of appetite and potential appetite regulators following intake of high energy nutritional supplements.

Background: The net clinical benefit of high-energy nutritional supplements (HENSDs) consumption is lower than expected.

Objectives: To investigate the extent to which consumption of oral HENSD in the fasted state reduces energy intake in slim females during consecutive breakfast and lunch, and whether this relates to changes in appetite and metabolic appetite regulators.

Design: Twenty three females of 24.
