Study Summary
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes are health conditions that are strongly influenced by a person's diet. Although the best diet to prevent CVD and diabetes is uncertain, reducing intake of saturated and transunsaturated fats is known to help lower cardiovascular risk. However, even diets low in these fats can vary widely in other energy providing nutrients, particularly carbohydrates. This study will determine the effects of a higher versus lower carbohydrate diet, each with a high or low glycemic index (GI) composition, on risk factors for CVD and diabetes.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL High carbohydrate and low glycemic index (GI) diet
- BEHAVIORAL Low carbohydrate and low GI diet
- BEHAVIORAL High carbohydrate and high GI diet
- BEHAVIORAL Low carbohydrate and high GI diet
