Study Summary

The purpose of this research study is to 1) understand how some, but not all people with obesity develop obesity related conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and 2) compare the effects of 3 popular weight loss diets (Mediterranean, low-carbohydrate, or a very-low-fat plant-based diet) in people with obesity.

Primary Outcome

Whole-body insulin sensitivity will be assessed by using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp procedure

Interventions

  • OTHER Metabolically abnormal obese - Mediterranean diet
  • OTHER Metabolically abnormal obese - Low carbohydrate ketogenic diet
  • OTHER Metabolically abnormal obese - Plant-based, very-low-fat diet
  • BEHAVIORAL Annual Follow-up Visits
