The session, "Plant-Based Diets and Weight Control," will examine how plant-based dietary patterns can promote weight management and improve metabolic health. Attendees will learn how plant-based, high-fiber foods that are nutrient-dense help improve satiety, create a healthy energy deficit, and lower calorie intake. The session will also discuss how plant-based diets can be used as a tool to prevent obesity-related consequences such as metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Experts in nutrition, dietetics, and metabolic health will provide suggestions for implementing plant-based dietary patterns and personalizing meal plans to reduce barriers and promote sustainable weight management and overall health.
Connect, collaborate, and contribute to driving excellence in obesity research, clinical practice, and public health approaches globally.
