Study evaluates effect of structured weight reduction program on atrial fibrillation symptoms
The program was pretty easy for the study participants to follow because they ate whatever they wanted on their non-fasting pure garcinia cambogia days. They lost anywhere from about 7 pounds to about 30 pounds in a very short amount of time. They lost an average of 5.6 kilograms (about 12 pounds) after eight weeks. Study participants lost about 0.7 kilograms (1.5 pounds) every week. At the end of the eight-week diet, their total cholesterol dropped by 21 percent while their LDL (bad) cholesterol dropped 25 percent.

Abed, B.Pharm., M.B.B.S., of the University of Adelaide and Royal Adelaide Hospital, Adelaide, Australia and colleagues evaluated the effect of a structured weight reduction program on atrial fibrillation symptoms. The study was conducted between June 2010 and December 2011 among overweight and obese patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation. Patients underwent a median (midpoint) of 15 months of follow-up. Patients were randomized to weight management or general lifestyle advice. Both groups underwent intensive management of cardiometabolic risk factors (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, glucose intolerance, sleep apnea, and alcohol and tobacco use). The intervention group experienced greater reduction, compared with the control group, in weight and in atrial fibrillation, symptom severity, number of episodes, and cumulative duration in minutes.

Weight reduction helps combat heart disease
The study was conducted between June 2010 and December 2011 among overweight and obese patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation. Patients underwent a median (midpoint) of 15 months of follow-up. Patients were randomized to weight management (intervention; n = 75) or general lifestyle advice (control; n = 75). Both groups underwent intensive management of cardiometabolic risk factors (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, glucose intolerance, sleep apnea, and alcohol and tobacco use).
