Resumo116 sedentary women (50±9 yrs, 162±6 cm; 96±21 kg; 45±5% body fat) with medically-managed conditions (i.e., hypertension, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, thyroid conditions, etc) were assigned to an exercise & no diet group (E) or a low calorie high carbohydrate (HC) or high protein (HP) diet. Diets consisted of 1,200 kcal/d for 1-wk and 1,600 kcal/d for 9 wks of either HC (55% C, 15% P, 30% F) or HP (15% C, 55% P, 30% F). Subjects participated in a supervised Curves fitness program 3-d per wk. DEXA body composition and REE measurements were obtained at 0, 2, and 10 weeks and were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA. Data are presented as means ± SD changes from baseline for the E, HC, and HP groups, respectively, after 2 and 10 weeks. HP group (−0.9±1.8, −2.1±3.2; −1.1±2.2, −2.5±3.8; −1.9±1.4, −4.0±3.6 kg, p=0.056) with no differences among groups in changes in fat mass (−1.2±1.7, −2.6±2.8; −0.4±2.3, −1.9±3.3; −1.4±1.9, −3.2±3.0 kg, p=0.13) or percent body fat (−0.9±1.6, −1.7±1.9; −0.1±1.4, −1.2±1.7; −0.6±1.7, −1.8±2.2 kg, p=0.44). No time or group x time effects were observed among groups in changes in REE (0.2±2.3, 0.6±2.0; −0.8±1.5, 0.2±2.0; −0.7±1.4, −0.3±2.1 kcal/kg, p=0.49). Results indicate that the Curves program is effective to promote weight loss without reductions in REE in women with medically-managed conditions.
