Sentences with phrase «g per day reported»

There was a significant reduction in dietary salt consumption from 2000 - 1 to 2008 - 11 of 0.9 g of salt per day, consistent with the total reduction in salt consumption of 1.4 g per day reported nationally when also discretionary use of salt is taken into account.

Not exact matches

According to the current study, the per capita availability of sugars and sweeteners fell 16 % between 1980 and 2011, which was a fall that was equivalent to a per capita reduction of added - sugars intake by ~ 230 g / y for 30 y. Between 1995 and 2011, the reported intake of added sugars (grams per day) in national dietary surveys declined 18 % in adult men but remained essentially unchanged in adult women (42 g / d).

However, a study (O'Donnell et al) published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), using urine tests of nearly 30,000 people, reports that too little salt, below 3.0 g per day, also significantly raises the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events, meaning heart attack, stroke, and hospitalization for congestive heart failure.

There are also increasing numbers of reported performance benefits of lowering dietary carbohydrate.12, 19,20 Phinney et al. 21 showed enhanced fat oxidation rates in cyclists who reduced dietary carbohydrate to less than 50 g per day and substituted calories with dietary fat over four weeks.

Adhering to these traditional concepts the US Department of Agriculture has concluded that diets, which reduce calories, will result in effective weight loss independent of the macronutrient composition, which is considered less important, even irrelevant.14 In contrast with these views, the majority of ad - libitum studies demonstrate that subjects who follow a low - carbohydrate diet lose more weight during the first 3 — 6 months compared with those who follow balanced diets.15, 16, 17 One hypothesis is that the use of energy from proteins in VLCKD is an «expensive» process for the body and so can lead to a «waste of calories», and therefore increased weight loss compared with other «less - expensive» diets.13, 18, 19 The average human body requires 60 — 65 g of glucose per day, and during the first phase of a diet very low in carbohydrates this is partially (16 %) obtained from glycerol, with the major part derived via gluconeogenesis from proteins of either dietary or tissue origin.12 The energy cost of gluconeogenesis has been confirmed in several studies7 and it has been calculated at ∼ 400 — 600 Kcal / day (due to both endogenous and food source proteins.18 Despite this, there is no direct experimental evidence to support this intriguing hypothesis; on the contrary, a recent study reported that there were no changes in resting energy expenditure after a VLCKD.20 A simpler, perhaps more likely, explanation for improved weight loss is a possible appetite - suppressant action of ketosis.
