Abstract
We have previously shown that a severely energy-restricted diet leads to greater loss of weight, fat, lean mass andbone mineral density (BMD) at 12 months in postmenopausal women with obesity than a moderately energyrestricted diet. We now aim to evaluate whether these effects are sustained longer term (ie, at 36 months).101 postmenopausal women were randomized to either 12 months of moderate (25 to 35%) energy restrictionwith a food-based diet (moderate intervention), or 4 months of severe (65 to 75%) energy restriction with a totalmeal replacement diet followed by moderate energy restriction for 8 months (severe intervention). Body weightand composition were measured at 0, 24 and 36 months. Participants in the severe intervention lost ~1.5 to 1.7times as much weight, waist circumference, whole-body fat mass and visceral adipose tissue compared to those inthe moderate intervention, and were 2.6 times more likely (42% versus 16%) to have lost 10% or more of theirinitial body weight at 36 months (P P P < 0.05), with this bone loss occurring in the first 12 months. Thus, severe energy restriction is moreeffective than moderate energy restriction for reducing weight and adiposity in postmenopausal women in thelong term (3 years), but attention to BMD loss in the first year is required.
