No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators will conduct a single-arm mixed methods pilot study to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a low-carbohydrate diabetes prevention program (LC-DPP). The investigators will estimate weight loss as well as the percentage of participants who achieve 5% body weight loss at 6 month and 12 month timepoints. Weight loss from the pilot VA LC-DPP cohort will be compared to weight loss outcomes from previously published DPP studies and the VA MOVE! program. The investigators will also evaluate secondary outcomes including change in physical activity, mental health, psychosocial functioning, and hemoglobin A1c over the 12-month study period. The investigators will also conduct qualitative interviews with participants at 6 and 12 months.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Low-Carbohydrate Diabetes Prevention Program

LC-DPP participants will be instructed to follow ad-libitum very low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet, which restricts carbohydrate intake (not including fiber) to 20-35 grams per day with the goal of achieving nutritional ketosis. Participants will be encouraged to eat a normal amount of protein (roughly 80-120 grams per day) and to derive the remaining calories from fat. Allowable foods include: meats, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese, seeds, nuts, leafy greens, non-starchy vegetables, and some fruits
