Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that a low-carbohydrate diet and a low-glycemic load diet will improve body mass index and result in more body fat loss than a control diet among overweight children ages 7 to 12. In addition this study is also designed to test the safety of diets with modified carbohydrate content as compared to a conventional weight management diet among younger overweight children.
