Reporting quality of randomized trials in the diet and exercise literature for weight loss
(BioMed Central, 2005-02-23)Background: To adequately assess individual studies and synthesize quantitative research on weight loss studies, transparent reporting of data is required. The authors examined the reporting quality of randomized trials ... -
The index of tobacco treatment quality: development of a tool to assess evidence-based treatment in a national sample of drug treatment facilities
(BioMed Central, 2013-03-15)Background: Quitting smoking improves health and drug use outcomes among people in treatment for substance abuse. The twofold purpose of this study is to describe tobacco treatment provision across a representative sample ... -
Comparison of a low carbohydrate and low fat diet for weight maintenance in overweight or obese adults enrolled in a clinical weight management program
(BioMed Central, 2007-11-01)BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests that a low carbohydrate (LC) diet may be equally or more effective for short-term weight loss than a traditional low fat (LF) diet; however, less is known about how they compare for ... -
Does Increased Exercise or Physical Activity Alter Ad-Libitum Daily Energy Intake or Macronutrient Composition in Healthy Adults? A Systematic Review
(Public Library of Science, 2014-01-15)Background The magnitude of the negative energy balance induced by exercise may be reduced due to compensatory increases in energy intake. Objective To address the question: Does increased exercise or physical ... -
