Laura _______________________________________________________ NUTRITION TIP (Part 1): _______________________________________________________ Low-Fat Diet Promotes Weight Loss by James J. Kenney, PhD, RD, FACN A recent study of a group of 64 mostly overweight postmenopausal women examined the impact of aggressively reducing dietary fat on body weight over an 8-month period.(1) Analysis of the subjects' customary diets showed that the heavier women (BMI> 27.5) consumed higher-fat diets (36.6% of calories) than the lighter women (BMI< 27.5), who averaged 29.4% fat calories. There is a lot of data demonstrating fatter Americans eat a greater proportion of their calories from fat than thinner Americans. In this study the subjects were instructed on how to limit fat intake to about 15% of calories in 8 separate 45-minute educational classes led by a registered dietitian for the first 8 weeks. Each study participant also met individually for a total of 3 hours of dietary instruction spread out over the first 6 months of the study. In addition, study participants met once a week for a potluck dinner and got an additional 30-minute group session to provide feedback and reinforcement for continuing on a 15% fat diet.

Well-known for his holistic approaches to physical and mental health, physician Weil loves good food. Not one to settle for bland albeit health- promoting fare, Weil insists that not only are low-fuss, delicious meals and good health more easily attainable than most Americans imagine, they actually go hand in hand. Coauthor and former Oprah Winfrey chef Daley, provides recipes that, for the most part, reflect Weil's conception of the optimum diet. All of the 135 recipes include nutrition counts (calories, fat, cholesterol, etc.). According to Weil, eating has become yet another stressful activity that must be fit into jam-packed days. To remedy this, Weil and Daley not only offer satisfying recipes that make use of nourishing, readily available ingredients, they give tips on stocking the pantry, preparation, reading food labels and daily menu planning.

Although fat was limited, the participants were not instructed to reduce calories. Even though these were free-living subjects who did not exercise and ate as much as they wanted, the average subject still lost 13. 2 pounds after 8 months. It should be noted that the subjects in this study consumed mostly refined carbohydrates and not whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Even so, the average intake of most nutrients monitored in this diet study went up or did not change. However, the intake of vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids did drop significantly on this very-low-fat diet. The authors concluded, "This study demonstrates that adherence to a very-low- fat diet consumed ad libitum causes weight loss in the 5 to 10% range and a reduction in body fat." They also noted that more emphasis on vitamin E and omega-3-rich foods should accompany dietary instruction to reduce dietary fat. [Source Communicating Food for Health] 1.
