Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of a low-calorie dietary approach to stop hypertension (DASH) compared to a low-calorie diet on weight control, body composition and glycemic measures in post sleeve patients with weight regain. Materials and Methods: Participants were randomly allocated to either the low-calorie DASH diet group (intervention) or the low-calorie diet group (control) for a duration of 16 weeks. Both groups had a prescribed caloric intake of 1000–1200 calories. The DASH diet group made dietary adjustments in accordance with the DASH pattern. Results: At the end of the study, both interventions significantly reduced anthropometric and body composition parameters (P-value < 0.001), with a greater decrease observed in the low-calorie DASH diet group (P-value < 0.001). Insulin levels and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) decreased significantly in both groups, but the magnitude of these changes was not statistically different between the two groups. After adjusting for confounders, a significant difference was observed in post-intervention values and changes in weight, body mass index, and fat mass and fat-free mass. Conclusion: In summary, adhering to a calorie-restricted DASH diet for 16 weeks improved weight loss, body mass index, and fat mass reduction in post-bariatric patients who experienced weight regain 2 years after surgery, compared to a calorie-restricted control diet. However, there was no significant difference in the effect on blood glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR between the two diets.
