“Effects of a Calorie Restricted, Very Low Fat Plant-based Diet and Multi-component Exercise Program on Metabolic Health”
The purpose of this study is to understand how weight loss by a very low fat plant-based diet with an exercise program affects metabolic and cardiovascular health in overweight adults at high risk for disease. Outcome measures will include assessment of insulin sensitivity, I2-cell function, body fat distribution, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue biology, cardiovascular function, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, immune function, and the gut microbiome.

Weight loss with very low fat plant-based diet and regular exercise
Participants will lose 7-10% of their body weight while on a calorie-restricted very low fat plant-based (PB) diet and performing exercise 6 days/week (4 sessions/week under direct supervision). The macronutrient composition of the diet is approximately 70% of energy from carbohydrate, 15% from protein, and 15% from fat. Food will be provided in the form of take-out meals and will be picked up by participants during weekly study visits with a weight management dietitian. To promote adherence to ...read more on ClinicalTrials.org
