Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a low-carbohydrate diet and a high-carbohydrate, high-fiber diet, on insulin sensitivity and blood chemicals considered risk markers for heart disease, in persons with the metabolic syndrome.

Our primary hypothesis is that the ad libitum high-carbohydrate, high-fiber diet will significantly improve insulin sensitivity, whereas the ad libitum low-carbohydrate, low-fiber diet will not.
