Prevention of Weight Gain
• It’s all a matter of energy balance!
– In the absence of edematous disorders, if you’re burning less than you’re eating you gain weight
E Out < E In
And it’s much less than the 100 kcal/day estimated by Hill JO et al (Science, 2003)

Schematic Representation of the
Natural History of Obesity
Eckel RH, Kahn S et al: Diabetes Care 34:1424 and JCEM 96:1654, 2011
Why is the Defense of Body Fat So Important?
• Body weight (fat mass) is a predictor of
survival in
– Animals
• Mammals
• Birds
• Insects
– Drosophila larvae
– Unfortunate circumstances in humans
• WWII
– Dutch famine, Leningrad
• IRA starvation
Eckel RH. In: Obesity Mechanisms and Clinical Management. pp. 3-30, 2003
Prevalence of Weight Loss Maintenance in a Biracial Cohort: CARDIA
• n = 1869 overweight/obese subjects
– n = 536 (29%) lost 5% between 1995- 2000
• n = 180 (34%) maintained at least 75% between 2000- 2005
• n = 356 (66%) regained
• Predictors of success – African-American race, T2DM, moderate physical activity,
emotional support, reduced sugar-containing soft drinks
• Overall, 34% x 29% = 9% success in those that may have needed weight reduction
Phelan S et al, Am Jour Prev Med 39:546, 2010
The Biology of Reduced Obesity
• leptin, ghrelin, GLP-1
– appetite
– preference for energy dense foods
• insulin sensitivity
– adipose tissue TG lipolysis
– pro-inflammatory cytokines
– adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase
– skeletal muscle lipoprotein lipase
– CHO oxidation & fat storage
• physical activity Eckel RH, NEJM, 358:18, 2008

How much change in AT mass is needed to be
defended?
Let’s ask this question in walking-well normal weight women.

So even in walking-well normal weight women,
total body fat is defended one year after suction lipectomy - and perhaps in less favorable
locations!
Hernandez TL et al, Obesity 19:1388-95, 2011
Weight Loss Maintenance in the National Weight Control Registry
• Self-reported group of 629 women and 155 men – lost an average of 30 kg – maintained a required minimum weight loss of 13.6
kg for 5 yr
• Weight loss achieved by – 50% a formal program – 50% on their own – Both groups reported having used both diet and
exercise – 77% reported a triggering event – 42% of the sample reported that maintaining their
weight loss was less difficult than losing weight.
Klem ML et al, AJCN 66:239, 1997
Predictors of Weight Loss Maintenance: NWCR
• Energy Intake – avoid frying
– substitute low-fat for high-fat
• Leisure Time Exercise – # of strenuous activities/wk
– # of sweat episodes/wk
• Restraint Scale – Concern about dieting
– Weight fluctuation
McGuire, M.T. et al, Obesity Res 7:334, 1999
Where’s the physician in this whole world of
prevention of weight regain after successful treatment of obesity?
Why Nutrition and Physical Activity Are Not Addressed by Physicians
1. Drugs and devices are available
2. Don’t think lifestyle changes work
3. Not enough knowledge about counseling
4. Insufficient time
5. Not reimbursed
6. Lack of staff (dietitians, exercise therapists)
Eckel RH, Circulation 2006, 13:2657
1. Being better informed about why patients are unsuccessful in losing weight
2. Understanding why they regain it
3. Learning about individual patients to help them modify their lifestyles
The Physician’s Ability to Influence
Weight Loss Depends on:
Eckel RH, Circulation 2006, 13:2657
The 3-Minute Physician Interview • Nutrition
– Daily servings of fruits and vegetables
– Daily servings of whole grains
– Weekly servings of fish
– Saturated and trans fat intake
– Snack foods, desserts
– Maximum weight?
– Food intake pattern
– Weight loss experience
– Weight loss desired?
The 3-Minute Physician Interview
• Physical Activity – Activity in the job place
• elevator, escalator, steps
– Planned activity • type and frequency
– Parking habits • close or far
– Limitations on physical activity – Would you like to increase your
physical activity?
