Meal replacement as a weight loss strategy for night shift workers with obesity: a protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Piumika Sooriyaarachchi, Ranil Jayawardena, Toby Pavey & Neil A. King
Abstract Background Shift work is considered a risk factor for a number of chronic health conditions including obesity. Weight reduction in obese patients lowers the risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, certain cancers, and mortality. Achieving a negative energy balance by providing low-calorie meal replacements is widely used for weight management. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a low-calorie “meal-replacement” on the weight and metabolic parameters of shift workers with obesity. Methods This trial...
