Failure of weight-loss programs is high. We evaluated a whole-food plant-based (WFPB) lifestyle program. We investigated the obesity indices of 151 healthy adults who were on our ongoing, community-based program for the short (0.5 to ≤2 years), medium (2 to ≤5 years), or long term (5 to 10 years). Body composition indices were measured by medically approved bioimpedance. Body composition changes were favorable for all 3 groups and both genders. There were no differences in body composition between the males for all 3 groups, while there were lower body mass (BM), body mass index (BMI), and muscle mass in females on long-term versus short-term programs. All participants experienced a decrease in BMI (-2.5 kg/m), BM (-7.1 kg), and body fat percentage (-6.4%; < .001 for all). The reductions for those with a baseline BMI of obese, overweight, and normal were -5.6, -2.4, and -0.9 kg/m for BMI, -16.1, -7.1, and -2.5 kg for total BM, and -9.5%, -6.6%, and -4.8% for body fat percentage (baseline vs current; < .001 for all). A total of 86% of parents of underage children introduced the WFPB lifestyle to children. Our WFPB lifestyle program provides a long-term reversal of obesity.
减肥计划的失败率很高。我们评估了一项以全植物性食物（WFPB）为主的生活方式计划。我们调查了151名健康成年人的肥胖指数，这些人参加了我们正在进行的社区计划，时间分为短期（0.5至≤2年）、中期（2至≤5年）或长期（5至10年）。身体成分指数通过医学认可的生物电阻抗测量。身体成分的变化对所有三组和男女两性都有利。三组男性的身体成分没有差异，而长期参与计划的女性与短期参与计划的女性相比，体重、体重指数（BMI）和肌肉量较低。所有参与者的BMI（-2.5kg/m²）、体重（-7.1kg）和体脂百分比（-6.4%；所有均P<0.001）均有所下降。基线BMI为肥胖、超重和正常的参与者，BMI分别下降-5.6、-2.4和-0.9kg/m²，总体重分别下降-16.1、-7.1和-2.5kg，体脂百分比分别下降-9.5%、-6.6%和-4.8%（基线与当前；所有均P<0.001）。共有86%的未成年孩子的父母将WFPB生活方式介绍给了孩子。我们的WFPB生活方式计划能长期逆转肥胖。
