The Temple Vie weight management and lifestyle programme: initial data and reflections on Covid-19

Samantha J Robson et al. Obes Med. 2020 Dec.

Abstract

During the first three months of the Temple Vie programme, average weight loss in 36 subjects exceeded 13 kg. There were associated improvements in Patient Reported Outcome Measures, blood pressure and serum lipids. The Covid-19 pandemic may focus attention on programmes that give rise to rapid weight loss and improvements in cardiovascular health parameters.

Keywords: Cardiovascular disease; Covid-19; Obesity; Weight loss.
