A Very High Fiber Diet Versus a Low-carbohydrate Diet for Weight Loss in Obese Individuals With or Without Type 2 Diabetes
Using a 2x2 complete factorial design, approximately 140 obese men and women who may or may
not have type 2 diabetes will be randomized to one of two conditions (70 in each condition):
(a) a high fiber diet, or (b) a low-carbohydrate diet. Participants will be instructed to
follow their assigned diets for 1 year. Outcome measures of interest will include
participants' BMI, waist circumference, blood lipids (total, HDL, and LDL cholesterol, and
triglycerides), C-reactive protein, and gastrointestinal peptides. Participants will be
recruited from the Loma Linda and San Bernardino city area in southern California.
