September 6, 2024A new College of Public Health study led by Raedeh Basiri in the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies used new methods to help individuals with prediabetes who had obesity and overweight lose weight without following a weight-loss diet. The study didn’t focus on a reduction in calories or an increase in physical activity. Instead, it focused on healthy eating and personal goal setting based on how the body responds to different types of foods. They found that using continuous glucose monitoring devices (CGMs) along with personalized nutrition therapy doubled participants’ weight loss and fat reduction. This suggests that when participants can see the effects of foods on their blood glucose, they follow the recommendations more seriously.
