Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to understand how weight loss by a very low fat plant-based diet with an exercise program affects metabolic and cardiovascular health in overweight adults at high risk for disease. Outcome measures will include assessment of insulin sensitivity, β-cell function, body fat distribution, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue biology, cardiovascular function, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, immune function, and the gut microbiome.
Primary Outcome
Liver and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity will be assessed by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp technique, before and after weight loss.
