Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of two diets, a low glycemic load diet and a low saturated fat diet, in the treatment of adolescents with some heart disease risk factors associated with being overweight, such as high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, and cholesterol problems. The objective of the study is to determine which diet improves these risk factors more. The design of the study is a modified feeding study, which requests that the participants eat all and only the food provided by the study for 8 weeks, most days per week. Dietary counseling by phone will continue between 2 and 6 months of the study and the effects of this maintenance period will be assessed at 6 months time.
