SOURCES OF VARIANCE IN BITE COUNT A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Human Factors Psychology by Jenna Lori Scisco May 2012 Accepted by: Dr. Eric R. Muth, Committee Chair Dr. Thomas R. Alley Dr. Adam W. Hoover Dr. Patrick J. Rosopa ABSTRACT The obesity epidemic affects millions of individuals worldwide. New tools that simplify efforts to self-monitor energy intake may enable successful weight loss and weight maintenance. The purpose of this study was to examine predictors of the number of bites recorded by the bite counter device during daily meals in natural, real world settings. Participants (N = 83) used bite counters to record daily meals for two weeks. Participants also recorded their daily dietary intake using automated, computer-based 24- hour recalls. Predictors of bite count were explored at the meal-level and individual-level using multilevel linear modeling. A positive relationship between kilocalories and bites was moderated by energy density such that participants took more bites to consume greater kilocalorie meals when energy density was low than when energy density was high.

Methods Forty obese patients with T2DM (22 M, mean age 52 years, body mass index (BMI) 40 kg/m2, duration of T2DM 6.1 years) and symptomatic hyper- glycaemia despite combination oral therapy (n = 26) or insulin + metformin (n = 14) received 8 weeks of VLCD therapy (750 kcal/day) followed by standard diet and exercise advice at 2–3-month intervals up to 1 year. Insulin was dis- continued at the start of the VLCD, and anti-diabetic therapy was adjusted indi- vidually throughout the study, including (re)commencement of insulin as required. Results Immediate improvements in symptoms and early weight loss reinforced good compliance and patient satisfaction. After 8 weeks of VLCD, body weight and BMI had fallen significantly: 119 ± 19–107 ± 18 kg and 40.6–36.6 kg/m2, respectively, with favourable reductions in serum total cholesterol (5.9–4.9 mM), blood pressure (10/6 mmHg) and fructosamine (386 ± 73–346 ± 49 µM) (equates to an HbA1c reduction of approximately 1%).

  • Diet Intervention for Gastroparesis and Diabetes Mellitus
    Diet Intervention for Gastroparesis and Diabetes Mellitus Introduction Gastroparesis means “stomach (gastro) paralysis (paresis).” In gastroparesis, your stomach empties too slowly. Gastroparesis can have many causes, so symptoms range from mild (but annoying) to severe, and can vary week-to-week or even day-to-day. This handout is designed to give some suggestions for diet changes in the hope that symptoms will improve or even stop. Very few research studies have been done to guide us as to which foods are better tolerated by patients with gastroparesis. The suggestions are mostly based on experience and our understanding of how the stomach and different foods normally empty. Anyone with gastroparesis should see a doctor and a Registered Dietitian for advice on how to maximize their nutritional status. Keep in mind that if you are losing weight because you aren’t able to eat enough, any calorie is a good calorie. This is particularly true if you are facing the possibility of tube or IV feeding to provide nourishment. You may need to put prior dietary restrictions on hold until you can meet your basic nutritional needs. 02/2017 BB www.GInutrition.virginia.edu Diabetes and Gastroparesis If gastroparesis is due to diabetes, the most important goal is to achieve or maintain good glucose control. The best way to do this is by monitoring your blood glucose levels often and adjusting the amount of insulin given throughout the day. Because of your gastroparesis, food intake may be inconsistent. The amount of food you are able to take may vary from meal to meal and day to day.

    Story Angles: Is your Diet Starving You? A survey from TSC, a division of Yankelovich, reports that at any one time almost 2/3 of Americans are on a diet. Two in three people admit that hunger causes them to cheat on their diet. A majority of dieters (56%) feel there are times when they are “starving themselves to death.” These impressions highlight the important role that hunger plays in the weight loss process and how it can derail dieting success. Armed with these consumer insights and an understanding of the ability of specific foods to control appetite, Slim-Fast has adapted its entire line of Slim-Fast Meals—both Shakes and Meal Bars-- to address the issue of appetite control head-on by formulating them to control hunger for up to four hours. The Full Story: How to Control Your Hunger Spot quiz about controlling hunger: which of these four meal choices keeps you feeling full longer? • A hamburger with a soda • A bagel with low-fat cream cheese and a glass of orange juice • A yogurt • A Slim-Fast Optima Shake The answer: the Slim-Fast Optima shake According to a new head-to-head study from the University of Arkansas, the 190-calorie meal replacement shake controls hunger for four hours, 52 minutes -- 42 minutes longer than the burger meal, 77 minutes longer than the yogurt, and statistically as long as the bagel meal--in less than half the calories and with significantly more nutrition per calorie—an important consideration for dieters who want to reduce calories without sacrificing satisfaction or nutrition.
