Abstract

The high prevalence of obesity and its metabolic co-morbidities require dietitians to promote lifestyle modifications that can be effectively implemented into practice and are feasible for customers to adhere to. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of commercially available ready-to-eat canned navy beans added to the habitual diet on risk factors associated with obesity. Fourteen overweight and obese adults consumed 5 cups of canned navy beans per week for 4 weeks. The study results demonstrated that bean consumption results in reduced waist circumference in females by 2.5 cm and males by 2.1 cm (P < 0.001). The effect of beans on pulse rate, total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) were sex dependent (P < 0.05). In males, pulse rate, TC, and LDL were decreased by 6.5%, 11.5%, and 18%, respectively. In females, pulse rate increased by 9.6%, and TC and LDL were relatively unchanged. There was a trend for a decreased glucose AUC (P = 0.06) in response to a glucose load. This study demonstrates that consuming 5 cups per week of ready-to-eat canned navy beans for 4 weeks reduces metabolic risk factors associated with obesity and therefore can be used as a tool in dietetic practice.

Résumé

La prévalence élevée de l'obésité et de ses comorbidités métaboliques nécessite que les diététistes fassent la promotion des modifications au mode de vie qui peuvent être implantées efficacement dans la pratique et auxquelles les clients sont en mesure d'adhérer. L'objectif de cette étude était de déterminer l'impact de l'ajout de haricots ronds blancs en conserve prêts à consommer du commerce à l'alimentation habituelle sur les facteurs de risque associés à l'obésité. Quatorze adultes obèses et présentant un excès de poids ont consommé 5 tasses de haricots ronds blancs en conserve par semaine pendant 4 semaines. Les résultats de l’étude ont démontré que cette consommation réduisait le tour de taille de 2,5 cm chez les femmes et de 2,1 cm chez les hommes (p < 0,001). L'effet des haricots sur la fréquence du pouls, le cholestérol total (CT) et le cholestérol à lipoprotéines de faible densité (C-LDL) dépendait du sexe (p < 0,05). Chez les hommes, la fréquence du pouls, le CT et le C-LDL ont diminué de 6,5 %, 11,5 % et 18 %, respectivement. Chez les femmes, la fréquence du pouls a augmenté de 9,6 %, tandis que le CT et le C-LDL sont demeurés relativement inchangés. On a constaté que l'ASC de la glycémie (p = 0,06) avait tendance à diminuer en réponse à une charge de glucose. Cette étude démontre que la consommation de 5 tasses par semaine de haricots ronds blancs en conserve prêts à consommer pendant 4 semaines réduit les facteurs de risque métaboliques associés à l'obésité et que cet aliment peut être utilisé comme outil dans la pratique de la diététique.
