Weight loss drugs are effective, but can healthcare systems afford them?

Obesity is a chronic relapsing condition, and treatment options need to reflect this reality, write @_WestSam and colleagues

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Stopping weight loss drugs is followed by weight regain and reversal of beneficial effects on heart and metabolic health markers like high blood pressure, finds BMJ review.

Regain was faster than after behavioural weight management programmes

Decreased amino acid availability across the menstrual cycle does not affect whole-body or muscle protein synthesis

Nice work from @Marianna__A @GPavis @BenjaminTWall et al

Recommended read: New #SSE by @BenjaminTWall et al. discussing alternate forms of dietary protein for recovery beyond ‘plant vs animal proteins’.

Including the challenges & opportunities for plant-, fungal-,algal- & insect-derived proteins.

New work led by Alistair Monteyne from our group @uoe_npg at @uniofexeHLS musing on how recent data inform on the role of dietary leucine in regulating muscle protein synthesis, just published in @AJCNutrition: https://t.co/XyGcv8hdTt

Yesterday, a British man completed one of the greatest sporting achievements EVER.

Russ Cook ran the ENTIRE length of Africa in 352.

That is 16,294KM, which is equivalent to 386 marathons and 19.1 million steps.

Congratulations - this is truly an incredible accomplishment!

Very happy and proud to share my first publication @uoe_npg @PhysRep @physoc

We looked into the leucine threshold and leucine trigger concepts to determine if there is an association between dietary leucine and post exercise muscle protein synthesis

Delighted to share our latest work in @JCSM_cachexia :

Short-term disuse does not affect postabsorptive or postprandial muscle protein fractional breakdown rates.

#AdvNutr review points to the growing number of successful elite athletes following a vegan diet, noting, however, that "such anecdotal reports are likely underpinned by careful planning and application beyond what is required from an omnivorous diet." https://t.co/jvepvfPvJp
