Having passed the American Board of Obesity Medicine in Dec. 2015, I am now studying for re-certification of my boards in Lipidology.
I do this to prepare myself to go back to the practice of medicine in June 2016.
I plan to open a Obesity/Lipid Clinic.
Statements from NLA Self Assessment Program Critique Book:
Above slide from Dr Horn lecture in Washington DC 2015
Below documents from NLA Guidelines Part 2 2015
Few controlled trials done with dyslipidemia and exercise:
Exercise with weight loss will lower LDLc:
Leaving exercise and addressing weight loss and lipid change
Weight loss maintained in very few patients.
I find the last sentence in the above paragraph made without any reference to the Look Ahead trial which had favorable changes in risk factors but was a negative trial. Gary Foster on Look Ahead trial
NLA Guidelines Part 2 in chart below summarized:
My question after comparing what NLA wrote in 2013 and in it's guidelines in 2015 is:
Where is the apoB data mentioned in the NLA self-assessment program critique book that I posted at the start of this blog?
Seems as if NLA guidelines Part 2 is going backward rather than forward.

My review of exercise guidelines from studying for ABOM exam Dec 2015
The NLA guidelines Part 2 on lifestyle made me sad
8 year weight loss maintenance of 5% failed to improve CV outcomes
Look Ahead: 39% maintained greater than 10% weight loss for eight years.
However, then you look at the control results (DSE) in Look Ahead.
24% of the control group lost more than 10% of weight after 8 years. WOW!
