Why do we
care about
diet?
Obesity is a risk factor
in most of the leading
causes of death in the
US.
Diet and Exercise
influence many of these
as well.
Top Ten Causes of Death in the
US
Heart Disease
Cancer
Chronic Respiratory Diseases
Accident
Alzheimer’s Disease
Diabetes
Kidney Disorders
Influenza and Pneumonia

Complex carbohydrates
require digestion,
slowly enter circulation.
Simple sugars are
rapidly absorbed.
Excess blood glucose
increases fat storage,
increased glycosylation
of LDLs.

Protein toxicity can occur
with as little as 2g/kg/day in
individuals with pre-existing
renal disease.
Animal derived proteins
typically have sufficient
spectrum of amino acid
content.
Grains lack lysine, legumes
low in methionine.

The Debate
What type of diet is most effective for losing weight?
Those that emphasize protein?
Those that emphasize carbohydrates?
Those that emphasize fats?
Variable studies: some show benefit with low-CHO,
high-protein diets over high-CHO, low-fat diets, but
other studies do not show this effect.
Other studies have shown benefit with vegetarian
(high CHO, low fat) over conventional high CHO,
low fat diet
Low fat vs. moderate fat: mixed reviews
Let’s Look at Some Studies

Baseline values were carried forward for any missing values. The overall diet group × time interaction was significant (P<.001). The
analysis of variance test for differences among diet groups in weight change from baseline was significant at 2 and 6 months
(P<.001), and at 12 months (P = .01). Analyses of all pairwise differences by the Tukey standardized range test (<.05) indicate that
the Atkins diet group was significantly different than all other diet groups at 2 and 6 months and that the Atkins diet group was
significantly different than the Zone diet group atCopyright
12 months.

Very Low CHO diet vs.
Calorie Restricted Low Fat diet
2003 study on very low CHO diet and calorie
restricted low fat diet: (53 patients)
Very low CHO: lost more weight and body fat than the low
fat diet.
Over 6 months: no deleterious effects noted for CV risks
Blood pressure, Glucose, lipids, Insulin : same changes in
both groups
(J Clin Endocrinol Metab 88:1617–1623, 2003)
2005: Comparison Atkins, Ornish,
Weight Watchers, Zone
2005 JAMA: (161#)
Weight loss:
Atkins: 2.1kg
Zone: 3.2kg
Weight Watchers: 3.3kg
Ornish 3.3kg
Each diet decreased LDL/HDL ratio by 10%.
No effect on BP and glucose
JAMA. 2005;293(1):43-53. doi:10.1001/jama.293.1.43.
2006: Low CHO vs. Low fat
on Weight Loss and CV Risks
447 people
At 6 months: Low CHO lost more weight, but at 12
months, there was no difference in weight loss
between the 2 groups
No change in BP
Low CHO: TG and HDL improved
Low Fat: total cholesterol and LDL improved
Arch Intern Med. 2006;166(3):285-293. doi:10.1001/archinte.166.3.285.
Conclusion:
“Low-carbohydrate, non–energy-restricted diets
appear to be at least as effective as low-fat, energyrestricted diets in inducing weight loss for up to 1
year.
However, potential favorable changes in triglyceride
and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol values
should be weighed against potential unfavorable
changes in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol values
when low-carbohydrate diets to induce weight loss
are considered.”
Arch Intern Med. 2006;166(3):285-293. doi:10.1001/archinte.166.3.285
Weight loss: both diets: 7.3# in 12 weeks
“Effect of an energyrestricted, highprotein, low-fat diet
relative to a
conventional highcarbohydrate, lowfat diet on weight
loss, body
composition,
nutritional status,
and markers of
cardiovascular
health in obese
women.”
High protein diet:
Decreased TG
Decreased body fat
Both diets improved LDL, HDL, glucose,
insulin, C-reactive protein
Conclusion: “An energy-restricted, high-protein, lowfat diet provides nutritional and metabolic benefits that
are equal to and sometimes greater than those observed
with a high-carbohydrate diet.”

“A Dietary Quality Comparison of Popular
Weight-Loss Plans”
Compared:
New Glucose Revolution: low glycemic index
Weight Watchers: point system based on energy, fat, fiber
Atkins: low CHO, high fat diet (4 phases)
South Beach: 3 phases (recommends certain CHO and fats)
Zone: reduced CHO, low energy diet 40% CHO, 30%protein, 30% fat
Ornish: <10% from fat. All animal products are excluded
2005 US Dept of Agriculture Food Guide Pyramid
Dietary quality was measured by the Alternate Healthy
Eating Index (AHEI)
Purpose of study: compared dietary quality as well as
other nutrients associated with CVD
J Am Diet Assoc. Oct. 2007: 107(10): 1786-1791
Dietary quality is defined as the degree to which a
diet reduces risk for CVD disease
Obesity is associated with an increased risk for CV
disease
Given that obesity is a risk factor for CVD, a weight
loss plan that is optimal will not only facilitate
weight loss, but will reduce CVD reduction.
AHEI
Was developed to improve the Health Eating Index
AHEI is twice as strong a predictor of CVD over the HEI
Nine components:
Fruit
Vegetables
Nuts and soy
Ratio of white to red meat
Ceral fiber
Trans fat
Ratio of polyunsaturated fat to saturated fat
Alcohol
Duration of multivitamin use
Several nutrients important for CVD risk reduction
were also analyzed:
CHO
Fat
Protein
Percent energy from saturated and monounsaturated fat
N-3 fatty acids
Total fiber
Sodium

HEI vs. AHEI
HEI: created at first to identify dietary factors associated
with reduced CVD risk and to evaluate a plan’s potential
to improve lipid levels and obesity.
It did not predict CVD mortality however because it did
not distinguish between the different types of CHO and
fats
AHEI: found to be twice as good at predicting CVD
How is this helpful? The AHEI may help to establish
long term plans for weight loss and thus affecting CVD
risks as well.
Most plans can lose weight in the short term, but it’s the
long term effects over time that matters.
OmniHeart Study
Compared 3 diets:
Carbohydrate-rich diet, similar to the DASH diet;
Diet rich in protein, approximately half from plant sources;
Diet rich in unsaturated fat, predominantly monounsaturated
fat.
Goal: all 3 diets are low in saturated fat. The study
looked at blood pressure and serum lipids
OmniHeart Study
Compared with CHO diet:
Protein diet:
Decreased systolic BP 1.4mmHg without HTN, and 3.5 with HTN
Decreased LDL 3.3mg/dL,
Decreased HDL 1.3 md/dL
Decreased TG 15.7mg/dL
Unsaturated fat diet:
Decreased systolic BP 1.3mmg without HTN, 2.9 with HTN
No change in LDL
Increased HDL 1.1mg/dL
Decreased TG 9.6mg/dL
Conclusion: partial substitution of CHO with either
protein or a monounsaturated fat diet can further lower
BP, improve lipids and decrease CV risk.

Lyon Heart Study
300 subjects
Study stopped early because of benefits on heart
disease
50-70% lower risk of recurrent heart disease
This is a secondary prevention trial
Circulation. 2001;103:1823-1825
PREDIMED Study
Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease with a
Mediterranean Diet
Studied efficacy of 2 Mediterranean diets:
One supplemented with extra virgin olive oil and the other
supplemented with nuts.
Compared with low fat diet
Conclusion: the results supported a Mediterranean
diet for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease

Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies evaluating the
association of saturated fat with cardiovascular disease
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: published
Jan. 10, 2010: provided a lot of controversy about
saturated fat
Meta-analysis of 21 studies
Conclusion:
“A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed
that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary
saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or
CVD. More data are needed to elucidate whether CVD risks are
likely to be influenced by the specific nutrients used to replace
saturated fat.”

-<8% saturated fat, 20 g fiber/day, 150mg cholesterol per
1000 kcal
Diets were randomized, daily meal plans provided
-deficit of 750 kcal per day from baseline
Group sessions/individual sessions
Physical activity goal: 90 minutes moderate exercise per
week
Body weight and waist circumference measures
Primary outcome: change in body weight over 2 year
period
Secondary outcome: change in waist circumference
Note:
Most of the weight loss occurred in first 6 months (6.5kg)
After 12 months, all groups on average, slowly regained body weight
23% continued to lose weight from 6 months to 2 years
At 2 years:
31-37% had lost at least 5% of initial body weight
14-15% had lost at least 10% of their initial weight
2-4% lost 20kg or more
All diets reduced risk factors for CV disease and diabetes
at 6 months and 2 years
The 2 low fat diets and highest CHO diet decreased LDL
more than the high fat diet or lowest CHO diet
Lowest CHO diet increased HDL more than High CHO
diet
All diets decreased TG similarly
Serum insulin levels: all diets except high CHO
BP decreased 1-2mmHg in all diets
Metabolic syndrome: present in 32% at start and after 2
years 19-22% overall
HDL: increased in the lowest CHO diet than in
highest CHO diet
Attendance at group sessions strongly predicted
weight loss at 2 years
Principal finding:
Diets were equally successful in promoting weight loss that
was clinically meaningful
Adherence to the diets was the most challenging
Conclusion:
“Reduced calorie diets result in clinically meaningful weight
loss regardless of which macronutrients they emphasize.”
Mean Change in Body Weight and Waist Circumference from Baseline to 2 Years
According to Dietary Macronutrient Content.

So what does this mean?
When looking at the studies, there is not clear
evidence that one diet prevails over another for
weight loss.
There are strong studies regarding the
Mediterranean diet in both primary and secondary
prevention in cardiovascular disease.
So what advice do I give to patients?
There are lots of “fad” diets out there.
Become familiar with the popular diets and be ready
to discuss them with your patient.
The key is finding something that the patient will
adhere to and stay with
DIET is a 4 letter word and is not allowed!
Rather, “lifestyle changes” is the goal!

USDA Food Guide Pyramid
The original pyramid did not point the way to
healthy eating
In 2005 it was replaced with My Pyramid: the old
pyramid turned on it’s side, but it was vague and
confusing
June 2011: replaced it with My Plate
The plate still falls short on the nutrition advice they
need to choose healthy diets.
Healthy Eating Pyramid/Healthy Eating Plate
Developed by Harvard School of Public Health,
updated in 2008
Developed the Healthy Eating Plate to replace My
Plate (2011)
Based on best available scientific evident about links
between diet and health
The pyramid has a foundation of daily exercise and
weight control.
Simple rule of energy balance:
Weight change = calories in – calories out
Problems
Nutrition advice by law must be considered for revision
every 5 years
Government seeks a panel of experts
The panelists are subject to intense lobbying from
National Dairy Council, United Fresh Fruit and
Vegetable Association, the Soft Drink Assn, the American
Meat Institute, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Assn, the
Salt Institute, and the Wheat Foods Council.
The guidelines can determine what food products
Americans buy and determine how billions of dollars are
spent.
“Can We Say What Diet is Best for Health?”
Drs. Katz and Dr. Meller: Ann Rev Public Health
2014. 34:83-103
There have been no long term studies comparing
diets
The weight of evidence supports a theme of healthful
eating, with variations among this theme.
Compared: Low CHO, Low fat, Low glycemic,
Mediterranean, Mixed balanced, paleolithic, vegan,
other
If diet denotes a set of rigid principles, then, no, we
can’t say what diet is best.
However, if by diet, we mean a more general dietary
pattern, then yes, we can say what diet is best:
Evidence supports:
Diets consisting of minimally processed foods
Diet of foods mostly direct from nature
Diets with exaggerated emphasis on any one nutrient or food is
ill advised
Diets need to consist of a complete dietary pattern
New Evidence: March 2014
“Fruit and vegetable consumption and all-cause,
cancer and CVD mortality: analysis of Health Survey
for England data”
J Epidemiol Community Health doi: 10.1136/jech-2013203500
An inverse association exists between fruit and vegetable
consumption and mortality
Benefits seen in up to 7+ portions daily
Fruit and vegetable consumption: associated with
reduced cancer and CV mortality
Vegetables may have a stronger association with
mortality than fruit
Fresh vegetables were most protective, while
frozen/canned fruit showed increased mortality
Eating 7 or more portions of fruit and vegetables can
reduce the risk of death by 42%
Bottom Line
Eat more vegetables and fruit
Eat less processed foods
Eat whole grains
Eat white meat over red meat, eat fish at leasttwice
weekly
Eat healthy oils and fat
Increase intake of nuts, seeds, beans
Dairy 1-2 servings a day
Exercise more
