Exploring the effects of ime-restricted ating on body weight and associated cardiometabolic outcomes in outh frican women living with HIV (TESSA): protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: We codesigned an intervention with a low-resourced community with the aim to investigate the effects of time-restricted eating (TRE) on changes in body weight and associated cardiometabolic outcomes in South African women living with overweight/obesity and HIV who have initiated dolutegravir (DTG)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Methods And Analysis: Women with overweight or obesity (body mass index ≥25 kg/m², no upper limit), aged 20-45 years, living with HIV and in a low-resourced community, and receiving DTG-based ART for less than 2 years will be recruited from a community healthcare centre in Khayelitsha, Cape Town (n=152). Participants will be randomised 1:1 to the TRE group (n=76) or standard of care control group (n=76) for 12 months.

"I have not been doing it because of my fear of something happening." Exploring perspectives on healthy dietary behaviors and physical activity in Mexican pregnant women and health care professionals: A qualitative study.

Objectives: Mexico exhibits one of the highest prevalence rates of overweight and obesity globally, accompanied by a surge in non-communicable diseases, which in turn leads to elevated mortality rates. Existing efforts to address rising obesity rates have shown limited effectiveness. Maternal weight, diet, and physical activity (PA) during pregnancy affect the mother's and offspring's health.

Barriers and facilitators for sustainable weight loss in the pre-conception period among Danish women with overweight or obesity - a qualitative study.

Background: The prevalence of overweight or obesity in women of reproductive age continues to increase. A high pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) has been shown to increase the risk of pregnancy complications and predispose offspring to childhood obesity. However, little is known about factors affecting women's ability to achieve sustainable weight management and very few studies have applied behavior change theory to qualitative data.

"I am very critical of my body, but I am not a worthless person": A qualitative investigation of internalized weight stigma in Denmark.

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore how two of the main dimensions of internalized weight stigma (IWS), namely weight-related self-devaluation and distress, play out in the lives of people with excess weight (EW), and to study whether there are further dimensions of IWS.

Method: Ten informants with EW were included in this study. The sample size was determined prior to data collection based on available resources at the time of data collection.
