PG - 555-63 LID - 10.3945/ajcn.111.026278 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Replacement of caloric beverages with noncaloric beverages may be a simple strategy for promoting modest weight reduction; however, the effectiveness of this strategy is not known. OBJECTIVE: We compared the replacement of caloric beverages with water or diet beverages (DBs) as a method of weight loss over 6 mo in adults and attention controls (ACs). DESIGN: Overweight and obese adults [n = 318; BMI (in kg/m(2)): 36.3 +/- 5.9; 84% female; age (mean +/- SD): 42 +/- 10.7 y; 54% black] substituted noncaloric beverages (water or DBs) for caloric beverages (>/=200 kcal/d) or made dietary changes of their choosing (AC) for 6 mo. RESULTS: In an intent-to-treat analysis, a significant reduction in weight and waist circumference and an improvement in systolic blood pressure were observed from 0 to 6 mo.Mean ((+/-SEM) weight losses at 6 mo were -2.5 +/- 0.45% in the DB group, -2.03 +/- 0.40% in the water group, and -1.76 +/- 0.35% in the AC group; there were no significant differences between groups [corrected]. The chance of achieving a 5% weight loss at 6 mo was greater in the DB group than in the AC group (OR: 2.29; 95% CI: 1.05, 5.01; P = 0.04). A significant reduction in fasting glucose at 6 mo (P = 0.019) and improved hydration at 3 (P = 0.0017) and 6 (P = 0.049) mo was observed in the Water group relative to the AC group. In a combined analysis, participants assigned to beverage replacement were 2 times as likely to have achieved a 5% weight loss (OR: 2.07; 95% CI: 1.02, 4.22; P = 0.04) than were the AC participants. CONCLUSIONS: Replacement of caloric beverages with noncaloric beverages as a weight-loss strategy resulted in average weight losses of 2% to 2.5%. This strategy could have public health significance and is a simple, straightforward message. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01017783.
