Exam 2: Nutrition in Weight Management Flashcards
Identify the components of fat-free mass
Everything in body besides the fat.
*Water 2/3
* Organs
* Bones
* Minerals
* Lean body mass
(muscle)
Identify the components of fat mass
- Essential fat
- Storage fat
⚬White adipose tissue - brown adipose tissue
Components of storage fat
- Subcutaneous (skin)
- Visceral (organs and peritoneum)
White adipose vs Brown Adipose
both component of visceral storage fat
- WAT: stores TG
BAT: more mitochondria
Describe the changes in adipocytes with growth and weight gain
- increase in number
- increase in size
- increase in number
- repeats
Describe the changes in adipocytes with weight loss
with fat loss the size of the fat cells shrinks but not the number
identify factors that affect body weight
- energy intake
- energy expenditure
- genetics
- inflammation
- sleep deprivation
- obesogens
How does energy intake affect body weight
- CHO 4
- Fat 9
- Protein 4
- Alcohol 7
How does energy expenditure affect body weight?
- RMR: resting metabolic rate
- AT: activity thermogenesis (most variable)
- TEF: thermic effect of food
- NEAT: non exercise activity thermogenesis
How does genetics affect body weight?
⚬ Size and # of fat cells
⚬ Regional distribution of body fat
⚬ RMR: fast/slow meta
⚬ Set point theory
⚬ Epigenetics: gene plus environment exposure and lifestyle
set point theory
intractable tendency to regain weight after weight loss
- body can adjust energy expenditure
How does inflammation affect body weight?
⚬ Insulin resistance
⚬ Muscle protein loss
⚬ Leptin resistance
muscle protein loss
muscle loss = lower RMR
insulin resistance
- reduce insulin so glucose is not going into cells to use for energy then that glucose get converted to fat
leptin resistance
How does sleep deprivation affect body weight?
⚬ ↑ ghrelin, ↓ leptin
⚬ ↑ kcal intake and
cravings for CHO
foods
⚬ Gene expression
⚬ Insulin resistance
⚬ ↑ ghrelin, ↓ leptin
- ghrelin promotes hunger
- leptin promotes satiety
- get more hunger and increase calories and cravings
How does obesogens affect body weight?
- affect endocrine disruptors (hormone secretion system)
- environmental factors like packaging and cosmetics
⚬ Disruption of lipid
metabolism →favors fat storage
⚬ Gene expression
⚬ Hunger/appetite
regulation
Role of cholecystokinin
- stimulated by protein and fat
- suppress gastric emptying
- decrease hunger
- reduce food intake
role of leptin
- WAT
- stimulated by the release of insulin
- less hunger and appetite
- inc metabolism
role of insulin
- stimulate by glucose level after eating
- dec hunger by production of leptin
role of ghrelin
- stomach
- inc appetite and hunger
- inc before food and dec after food
role of glucagon like peptide 1
- SI, stimulate by food intake
- increase satiety, slow gastric emptying, inc metabolism
role of pancreatic peptide YY
- ileum/colon, stimulate by food
- delay digestion, satiety, curb appetite
role of triodothyronine and thyrodine
- thyroid gland
- regulate metabolism
role of cortisol
- highest in morning because running out of glucose
- adrenal cortex
- inc appetite, regulate metabolism
__________ promote hunger and ___________ promote appetite
ghrelin and cortisol
The majority of energy expenditure comes from _____ ?
RMR
What is the metabolic syndrome
how is metabolic syndrome diagnosed?
What are the medical complications of obesity?
- idiopathic intracranial hypertension
- stroke
- cataracts
- coronary heart disease
- diabetes
- dyslipidemia
- hypertension
- severe pancreatitis
- cancer
- phlebitis
- gout
- skin
- osteoarthritis
- gynecologic abnormalities
- gallbladder disease
- nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
- pulmonary disease
Define metabolic syndrome
- increase risk for CVD and comorbidities
How is metabolic syndrome diagnosed
includes 3 or more of the
following:
* Waist circumference
⚬ Men: > 40 inches
⚬ Women: > 35 inches
* SerumTG≥150 mg/dl
* HDL
⚬ Men: < 40 mg/dl
⚬ Women: < 50 mg/dl
*BP: ≥ 135/85 mm Hg
*FastingBG ≥100mg/dl
Why is rapid weight loss not ideal?
- higher protein loss
- sharp decrease in RMR
Make recommendations for the rate and extent of weight loss and for weight
management
- Weight loss recommendations
⚬ BMI 27-35: 0.5 – 1 lb/week
⚬ BMI > 35: 1-2 lbs/week
⚬ Goal: 10% reduction in 6
months
-
What are the top 3 weight loss strategies
- Lifestyle/behavior
modification - Diet modification
- Increased physical activity
other - Pharmacotherapy
- Surgery
- weight maintenance
