Weight history of overweight pregnant women.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Weight history questionnaire results showed that pre-conception weight fluctuations and postpartum weight retention are significant problems for many overweight/obese women. Health care professionals can use this information for early prenatal through postpartum interventions designed to help overweight/obese women achieve an appropriate pregnancy weight and prevent sustained postpartum weight retention.

Going for the gold.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Ask any Olympian about their quest for gold and they will almost always tell you it's not really about the gold - it's all about the journey. What they learned and how they felt at the time of their successes, disappointments and failures is ultimately what challenged them to find the courage to truly believe in themselves and achieve their personal best. As dietitians, we are also like Olympians as each of us seeks personal success in our journey through life. It is no surprise that it takes knowledge and experience to become a champion. "Going for the Gold" highlights some of the milestones and challenges in the auth...

Determinants of diet quality among Canadian adolescents.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Canadian adolescents have low intakes of CFGHE-recommended foods and high intakes of "other foods." Those with poor diet quality had suboptimal macro-nutrient intakes and increased meal skipping and meal consumption away from home. Adherence to CFGHE may promote optimal dietary intakes and improve nutritional behaviours. 70(2):58-65.

Evaluation of a pilot arts and health module in a graduate community nutrition program.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Several health disciplines have incorporated the arts into professional education programs; however, little work has been done in the field of dietetics. A pilot arts module was implemented as part of a graduate education program in community nutrition. The course instructor developed a structured, open-ended questionnaire, which was administered to participating students before the educational module. The same students completed a similar questionnaire at the end of the module. Responses were compared and analyzed thematically so that changes could be noted in perspectives on the arts and health upon module completion...

Meanings that youth associate with healthy and unhealthy food.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Foods hold multiple meanings for youth. Programs and policies aimed at fostering healthy eating need to capitalize on positive associations related to healthy foods. Negative associations related to healthy foods need to be acknowledged and strategies developed to recast such linkages. Likewise, the positive associations linked to unhealthy foods need to be addressed. Strategies also need to be developed to ensure access to healthy foods in all settings, especially within schools and community leisure settings.

Conclusions: The SRLCDs ate more fat than recommended. Women who are considering following a low carbohydrate diet need to know the nutritional risks of unbalanced self-designed low carbohydrate diets. Negative attitudes toward carbohydrates were not confined to dieters. Nutrition education is necessary to help consumers understand basic nutrition principles and to be more skeptical of fad diets.

Nutritional genomics and dietetic professional practice.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Nutrigenomics is concerned with the role of nutrients in gene expression, and nutrigenetics is the study of how genetic variants or polymorphisms (mutations) can affect responses to nutrients; nutritional genomics is the umbrella term. Nutritional genomics can be expected to revolutionize the way dietitians and other health professionals identify people with chronic diseases and treat those diseases. Understanding the science of nutritional genomics is important to dietitians and other health professionals because major scientific advancements such as this usually have a significant impact on ethics, policy, and practi...

Telediabetes is a form of telemedicine used to provide education and clinical care to persons living with diabetes. Web-based delivery modes using cellular telephones and/or computers are of particular interest as they are becoming increasingly available. A review of current research on the practice of web-based telediabetes to adults with type 2 diabetes was conducted to determine the potential impact of this delivery mode on professional dietetics practice. Nine articles meeting the inclusion criteria were identified, critiqued, and summarized. Studies varied greatly in breadth and scope; consequently, few general co...

Nutrition education program design for youth with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The increased prevalence of childhood obesity has led to rising rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in youth. Recommended nutrition strategies for children with T2DM are not well delineated. Adult recommendations for T2DM do not take into account different stages of physical and psychological growth. Nutrition recommendations for children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) also are not applicable to youth with T2DM, who generally require interventions to promote weight loss. A nutrition education program was developed for youth with T2DM, with attention to current nutrition recommendations and the delivery of nutrition e...

A review of family meal influence on adolescents' dietary intake.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Recent concerns about adolescent nutrition and unhealthy weights have prompted an examination of the myriad influences on dietary intake during adolescence. Included here are a summary of the literature on family influence on dietary intake, specifically during adolescence and within the family context, a summary of family meal patterns, and a systematic review of the known influences of family meals on dietary intake. Because of the complexity of families in today's society, models were developed to depict the broad context of familial influences on adolescent nutritional behaviours and attitudes and to describe what ...

This innovative, self-directed diet and physical activity program was designed to achieve moderate weight loss in women. Thirty-five overweight or obese hyperlipidemic women completed a 20-week weight loss study. The weight loss intervention consisted of a 20% decrease in energy intake through diet and a 10% increase in energy expenditure through physical activity. The diet consisted of 50-60% carbohydrates, 20% protein, and 20-30% fat. A personal trainer prescribed physical activity regimens. A progress-tracking system and monthly group sessions were used to maintain participant motivation throughout the weight loss p...

Should long-term care residents be supplemented with vitamin D?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The Health Canada recommendation of 600 IU of vitamin D daily for those over age 70 may be inadequate to prevent deficiencies. A literature search was conducted to examine whether older people living in long-term care (LTC) facilities are at high risk for vitamin D deficiency and therefore should receive a minimum daily supplement of 800 IU. The search included the major databases; the search terms "elderly" and "vitamin D" were used. Articles primarily related to calcium were excluded. The results show that North American seniors generally consume a diet low in vitamin D and have limited sun exposure. The majority, pa...
