EngagementHigh engagement

ImpactModerate impact

The discussions seem to influence opinions about dieting and weight management practices, highlighting the minimal long-term differences and promoting a nuanced view of weight loss approaches.

Abstract in brief

  • Rapid or gradual weight loss results in similar long-term effects on body composition, metabolism, and risk factors, with only minor differences that are not clinically significant.
  • Faster weight loss may cause slightly more loss of fat-free mass and greater drops in resting energy expenditure initially, but these differences diminish after about 24 weeks of stabilization.
  • The overall impact on health markers like blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels is minimal, indicating that the rate of weight loss does not substantially influence long-term health outcomes.]

ถ้าถึงจุดที่น้ำหนักหรือมวลมันลดไปจนถึงจุดนิ่งๆแล้ว ก็ไม่ได้ต่างกันนัก แต่อย่าลืมนะว่าอันนี้เขาดูจากวิธีการลดหลายๆแบบ ส่วนผลที่ได้กับค่าเลือด ตัวบ่งชี้ความเสี่ยงต่างๆ ก็โอเค เพราะว่าลดน้ำหนักได้พวกนี้มันก็ดีขึ้นอยู่แล้ว https://t.co/Au0h7vbcRB
