- One‐Year Weight Loss Following a Remote Culinary Medicine Program: A Bi‐Center Randomized Controlled Trial Rani Polak Maggi A. Budd Adi Finkelstein Rebecca Goldsmith Richard Goldstein Brianna E. Gray Rom Keshet Amir Tirosh Obesity ABSTRACT Introduction Health‐related culinary intervention, termed culinary medicine (CM), is an innovative evidence‐based strategy in the field of nutrition to improve dietary quality and prevent/manage chronic diseases. Long‐term effects on dietary intake and obesity using well‐designed studies are limited. Methods A randomized controlled trial evaluated the impact of a CM intervention on body weight. Participants were age 25–70 with BMI 27.5–35 kg/m 2 . Intervention: Dietary counseling and twelve 30‐min CM sessions. Control: Dietary counseling and CM resources. Body weight, nutrition, and health outcomes were measured at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months. Results Fifty participants are included in a modified intention to treat analysis. Average intervention group weight loss was: at 3 months, −3.23% (3.52%), net difference −2.52% (CI: −0.48% to −4.56%; p = 0.016); at 6 months, −4.2% (5.24%), net difference −2.98% (CI: −0.36% to −5.60%; p = 0.027); and at 12 months, −4.02% (6.24%), net difference −4.30% (CI: −0.69% to −7.92%; p = 0.021). Intervention group had: fat mass loss at 6 months, 1.86% (1.54%), net difference 1.96% (CI: −3.82% to 0.11%, p = 0.039); Mediterranean diet score improvement at 3 months, 2 points, net difference 1.62 (CI: 0.263 to 2.968; p = 0.020); and calorie consumption decrease at 6 months, 452 cal, net difference −390 (CI: −701.1 to −78.13; p = 0.015). Conclusions CM can be an effective strategy to promote weight and body fat loss.
