No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We propose to add a treatment preference component to a larger study testing standard behavioral treatment (SBT) for weight loss without specific food group restriction vs standard behavioral treatment with gradual elimination of meat, poultry, and fish \[a lacto-ovo-vegetarian (LOV) meal plan\]. Eligible respondents will be randomized to one of two conditions: Treatment Preference-Yes/No. Individuals in the Treatment Preference-Yes will be assigned to their choice (SBT or SBT+LOV), those in Treatment Preference-No will be randomized to either SBT or SBT+LOV without regard to their preference.

The focus will be on the elimination of meat products as a means to reduce fat intake.
