“Complex Effects of Dietary Manipulation on Metabolic Function, Inflammation and Health”
The purpose of this research study is to 1) understand how some, but not all people with obesity develop obesity related conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and 2) compare the effects of 3 popular weight loss diets (Mediterranean, low-carbohydrate, or a very-low-fat plant-based diet) in people with obesity.

Metabolically abnormal obese - Mediterranean diet
The effect of consuming a Mediterranean diet will be examined over 3 different phases: (i) weight maintenance for 4 to 8 weeks, with all meals provided; (ii) controlled 7-10% weight loss with caloric intake reduced by 25% to achieve the desired amount of weight loss in about 4 to 5 months with all meals provided; and (iii) Independent weight loss for about 4 months. During the independent weight loss phase of the study subjects will be asked to continue to consume a Mediterranean diet but will p ...read more on ClinicalTrials.org
