The investigators hypothesize that consumption of potatoes is a healthy adjunct to lifestyle
intervention in overweight and obese glucose intolerant adults. We will evaluate the effects
of the consumption of potatoes (high or low resistant starch) vs. commonly consumed
carbohydrate sources on glucose tolerance; and ( the extent to which potato consumption
alters markers of lipid metabolism and inflammation in the context of a lifestyle
intervention program.

Our primary objective is to compare the effects of potato consumption to those of commonly
consumed carbohydrate sources on glucose tolerance and other cardiometabolic risk factors in
overweight and obese, glucose intolerant men and women participating in a lifestyle
intervention program. We hypothesize that consumption of potatoes is a healthy adjunct to
lifestyle intervention in overweight and obese glucose intolerant adults. Our specific aims
include: (1) to evaluate of the effects of the consumption of potatoes (high or low resistant
starch) vs. commonly consumed carbohydrate sources on glucose tolerance; and (2) to determine
the extent to which potato consumption alters markers of lipid metabolism and inflammation in
the context of a lifestyle intervention program.
