The principal objectives of this study were to identify diet problems associated with dining out, and to suggest dining out strategies for groups with diet problems. The data collected from adults(all over 20 years old) from the third Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III(KNHANES III), conducted in 2005, were used in this study. A total of 6,497 data were included in our statistical analyses, using SPSS 14.0. The results of this study demonstrated that there were significant differences in dining out frequency between different genders(p<0.001), ages(p<0.001), and economic status (p<0.001). With the crosstabulation analysis using the Chi-square statistics, the middle class males aged $20{\sim}29$(p<0.05), and lower class females aged 65 and over evidenced different degrees of compliance with the following guidelines. 'Eat a variety of foods' varied by frequency of dining out. In addition, the degree of compliance with the guidelines 'Increase activity and eat an adequate amount of foods for weight control', 'Enjoy the Korean traditional diet', and 'Control consumption of alcohol' also differed by dining out frequency in certain populations. With these results, dining out strategies were suggested for the groups with diet problems associated with dining out.

This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between diabetic control and related factors of the practice of diet therapy which affects mostly diabetic patients’ dietary compliance. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 128 diabetic patients who had visited Internal medicine endocrinology clinic at University Medical Center of Daegu area. The questionnaires including clinical characteristics, meal regularity and food intake which shows dietary compliance, intrinsic barriers to the practice of diet therapy and knowledge of diet therapy were asked and analyzed. The factor which affects HbA1c was intrinsic barriers and HbA1c became higher as the level of intrinsic barriers was increasing. The education on diet therapy had no influence on the intrinsic barriers, but the level of knowledge on diet therapy was shown higher in the educated patients. The above results suggest that the practice of diet therapy should be leaded to develop behavioral aspects through resonable motivation on dietary compliance along with removing intrinsic barriers rather than simply providing information.

A weight control program has been prescribed to investigate its effects on weight reduction of obese adults. The prescribed weight control program has been followed by 4 overweight adults and fad diets has been followed by 6 ovenveight adults for 3 to 7 months. The prescribed weight control program was basically the low calorie diet (1,500-1,800 kcal per day) and nutrition education was applied to enhance its effects. Fad diets were chosen among the fashionable diets and they were "apple diet" , "yogurt diet" and "Lee Hijae diet" Anthropometric measurements, biochemical parameters, and percent of body fat were measured after the respective period of weight control program. Body weight was significantly (p<0.01) reduced and the rate of obesity was also significantly lowered with the prescribed weight control program while the body weight and rate of obesity were not changed with the fad diets. Weight loss from the prescribed weight control program also led to the change of total cholesterol levels while LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride were not significantly changed. Nutrition education and counseling of the weight control subjects induced more weight loss and better food behavior. It is suggested that a weight loss program should be based on the low calorie diet with the well-planned nutrition education The fashionable diets were attractive for a short time period in weight reduction but the rapid weight gain was noticed right after the diets ceased.

Black ginseng is produced by a repeated steaming process. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-obesity effects of black ginseng ethanol extract (BG-EE) in high fat (HF) diet-fed mice. Two groups were fed either a normal control (NC) diet or a HF diet (45% kcal fat). The other three groups were given a HF diet supplemented with 1% BG-EE, 3% BG-EE, and 5% BG-EE for 12 wk. The anti-obesity effects of the BG-EE supplement on body weight, the development of fat mass, and lipid mechanisms were assessed in obese mice. HF-induced hyperlipidemia, fat accumulation in the liver, and white adipose tissues were reduced after BG-EE supplementation. Total fecal weight and the amount of fecal fat excretion also were increased after BG-EE supplementation. These results suggest that BG-EE may be useful to ameliorate HF-induced obesity through the strong inhibition of fat digestion.

The benefits of milk on the rats supplemented with cholesterol and vitamin D2 in diet was investigated. A total of 150 male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain, 5 weeks of age, were divided into 6 groups with the diet. Cholesterol control group was fed the diet containing 1.0% choleterol and 50,000 IU/100 g of vitamin D2 for 24 months, and M0.5, M1, M2 and M5 of milk groups were fed the diet containing cholesterol, vitamin D2 and 0.5, 1, 2 and 5 of reference daily intakes of whole milk, respectively. No remarkable differences of growth, diet intake, and food effciency ratio among groups were observed though rats in cholesterol control group showed abrupt decrease of diet intake and body weight showed slightly higher relative organ weights than did the rats in control group. The rats in cholesterol control group showed the highest serum total cholesterol level. The rats in milk groups showed lower total cholesterol level and higher high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol fraction than did the rats in cholesterol control group though no tendency was observed among milk groups. In milk groups, aorta, heart, kidney and liver of rats showed milder calcification and necrosis or fat degeneration compared with those in cholesterol control group. The above results suggest that whole milk could have beneficial effect on the cholesterol-and -vitamin D2-induced atherosclerosis in rats.

The purpose of this study was to find an effect of honey on the lipid metabolism of Sprague Dawley rats. All experimental rats were fed ad libitum, for seven weeks, 68% saccharide diet and 10% or 20% honey from acacia, sumac and miscelllaneous flower honey, respectively, and sucrose. The food efficiency ratio of rat taken diet with honey and high fructose of control group was increased in comparison with the control group. The concentration of cholesterol in serum of rats take총 diet with and high fructose of control group was more increased in comparison with the control and normal group. The concentration of H DL-cholesterol in serum of rats taken sumac honey was increased 57.0% in comparison with the control group, but the concentration of VLDL, LDL-cholesterol in serum of rats taken diet 10PA sumac honey was decreased 48.36% in comparison with the control group. The concentration of phospholipid in serum of rats taken diet with 20% acacia or 10% miscellaneous honey was increased 24.7, 16.25%, respectively, in comparison with the control group. The concentration of free fatty acid in serum of rats taken Inlet with sumac or miscellaneous honey and high fructose was increased in comparison with the comparison with the control group. The concentration supplemented diet with acasia honey was increase in comparison with the control group. The concentration of triglyceride in serum of rat was increased by feeding of honey. The concentration of triglyceride in liver was increased, but the level of phospholipid was decreased by feeding of honey.

This study was performed observe the effect of vegetable oil on the liver of 0.5% cholesterol-fed rats. In this experiment, male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain were used. The rats were divided into 5groups which were fed differently either for 8 weeks: basal diet, 20% sunflower oil diet, 20% soybean oil diet, 20% rapeseed oil diet.,20% coconut oil diet. The total cholesterol, triglyceride level in the liver were showed tendency of increase with increasing of P/S ratios. Bile acid excretion in the fecal increased with increasing of P/S ratios. The value of TBA in the serum and liver were increased in proportion to the amount of polyunsaturated fatty acid. The liver fatty acid of coconut-fed group showed larger variation than fatty acid of the cocount oil. The fat chang of sunflower oil diet in the liver showed the largest change.

The study examined dietary intake, satiety rate, and eating rate using rice bowls with an elevated bottom (diet rice bowl) and rice bowls with an elevated bottom and monitoring line (monitoring rice bowl). The monitoring rice bowl was used to help subjects monitor amounts they had eaten as they ate. Eighteen normal weight college female students participated in this study once a week for 2 weeks. Three hundred grams of fried rice in a diet rice bowl (1st week), and 300 g of fried rice in a monitoring rice bowl were served to the participants over 2 consecutive weeks. After each lunch, dietary intake, satiety rate, and eating rate were measured. The consumption amount of fried rice was 261.6 g in the diet rice bowl group, and 264.8 g in the monitoring rice bowl group. There was no significant difference in fried rice intake between the two groups. The satiety rate of fried rice in the monitoring rice bowl group was significantly higher than that of the diet rice bowl group after 1 hour and 2 hours (P<0.05). The eating rate of the diet rice bowl group (21.3 g/min) was significantly faster than that of the monitoring rice bowl group (18.7 g/min) (P<0.05). This result shows that food consumption monitoring can affect not only eating rate but also the subjective feelings of satiety after meal eating. Although more study is needed, these data suggest consumption monitoring in a rice bowl may help to control obesity and weight.

This study was conducted to compare the effects of feeding dry or fermented (aerobically or anaerobically with or without lactic acid bacteria) restaurant food residue mixture-containing diets on animal performance and blood profiles. Rats were used as the model animal for the simulation of laboratory rodents, rabbit or horse feeding and fed for 4 wks. The results were compared with feeding a dry diet (control) with the same ingredient composition as diets processed by aerobic and anaerobic methods. Feeding all the fermented diets tended to increase (p>0.05) average daily gain of rats resulting in improved (p<0.01) feed efficiency. Apparent digestibility of NDF was increased (p<0.05) by feeding the fermented diets, although digestibilities of DM, OM, CP, and NFC were not affected (p>0.05). Compared with the aerobically fermented diet, digestibility of ADF was increased (p<0.05) for the anaerobically fermented diet and for the 0.5% LAB culture plus anaerobically fermented diet. The digestibility of crude ash tended to increase (p>0.05) with feeding of the fermented diets. Feeding either of the fermented diets had little effects on serum nutrients, electrolytes, enzymes and blood cell profiles of rats except sodium and uric acid concentrations. These results showed that compared with feeding a dry food residue-containing diet, feeding aerobically or anaerobically fermented diets showed better animal performance as indicated by higher feed efficiency and rat growth rate. These improvements were attributed to the desirable dietary protein conservation during the food residue fermentation process and to higher total tract digestibilities of NDF and crude ash in the fermented food residue diets.
