Posted On: 5th January 2022
Health experts demonstrated that total diet replacements (TDR) offer a cost-effective solution in tackling obesity and health related diseases, in TDMR Europe’s latest webinar “Total Diet Replacement: exploring sustainable weight loss and health benefits, including diabetes remission and prevention”.
Programme
Total diet replacement – amount, safety and sustainability of weight loss
– Anthony Leeds, TDMR Europe, Parker Institute, Copenhagen
Diabetes prevention with TDR and low GI/GL diet (the PREVIEW study)
– Jennie Brand Miller, University of Sydney
Total Diet Replacement in a primary care/community setting – sustainability and health economics (the DROPLET trial)
– Nerys Astbury, University of Oxford
Diabetes remission – update on global roll-out of remission programmes (the DiRECT trial)
– Mike Lean, University of Glasgow
Prof Anthony Leeds, (Chair TDMR Europe) introduces the speakers:
After the event he said:
“We are pleased that our online seminar was attended by more than 100 delegates from the healthcare, policy and media sectors. The increasing levels of obesity and comorbidities in Europe will soon overwhelm capacity for healthcare provision. This timely seminar effectively demonstrated the potential for TDRs to provide a highly effective solution for overweight and obese individuals to lose weight more rapidly than would otherwise be possible, and improve outcomes for type 2 diabetes and other health issues associated with obesity”
