Low Fat Plant-based Diet Effects on Body Composition Indices

NCT02906072 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 325

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The effect of a diet free from animal-sourced nutrients on body composition in weight reduction programs is not well established. In this non-randomised free living interventional case-control study, the investigators will document the effects of a 10-week, low-fat, plant-based diet supplemented with two daily plant-based meal replacements on body composition indices measured with bioimpedance analysis. Control subjects will be exposed to weekly lectures on the rationale and expected benefits of plant-based nutrition. The investigators hypothesise that low-fat plant based diet supplemented with meal replacements eaten ad libitum allows a significant reduction of body fat without the loss of lean tissue.
