Summary

This research project was designed to study the role of dietary modifications in heart failure (HF) patients that suffer from type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to determine whether or not heart failure patients participating in a 3-month intensive lifestyle modification program of either a high protein (30 % of total calories from protein) group will have a significant improvement in weight reduction, quality of life and clinical outcomes compared to a standardized protein (15% of total calories from protein) group.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

12-week supervised weight loss intervention

Patients in the 2 study arms will participate in an intensive 12-week supervised weight loss intervention and will be seen by the same dietician at regular intervals: baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks. Participants will receive personalized nutrition counseling and support during each of these visits. Participants will be randomized to either the HP or SP diet and assigned to receive one of two standard structured energy-restricted meal plans (1200, 1500 Kcal/day) based on the computed calorie deficit
