Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Total weight loss
To test, in a randomized controlled trial, whether participation in a commercial weight loss program promotes greater weight loss and weight loss maintenance at one year in overweight or obese men and women with type 2 diabetes compared to usual care conditions.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Response to macronutrient composition
To examine whether there is a differential weight loss response at 3, 6 and/or 12 months to different dietary macronutrient composition (higher carbohydrate and lower fat versus lower carbohydrate and higher fat) in the weight loss intervention in these overweight or obese men and women with type 2 diabetes.
Biochemical/social outcomes
To describe the effect of participating in the program (vs. usual care) on markers of glycemic control, cardiovascular disease risk, cardiopulmonary fitness, plasma carotenoids, quality of life, and eating attitudes and behaviors. Also to examine whether there is a differential response to different dietary macronutrient composition in the two weight loss intervention groups in selected metabolic factors, lipids and CRP at 6 and 12 months.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of the Take Charge Study is to determine among overweight and obese men and women with type 2 diabetes whether 1) participating in a commercial weight loss program promotes great weight loss and weight loss maintenance at one year compared to usual care conditions and 2) whether there is a differential weight loss response to different dietary macronutrient composition (lower carbohydrate/higher fat diet versus a higher carbohydrate/lower fat).

Intervention Name(s)
Higher Carbohydrate, Lower Fat Diet
Intervention Description
Study participants will receive prepackaged prepared foods as needed to achieve a meal plan, free-of-charge for a 12-month period. The lower fat, higher carbohydrate diet provides 60% energy from carbohydrate, 20% energy from fat, and 20% energy from protein. The diet falls within the range of current dietary recommendations.
Intervention Type
Other
Intervention Name(s)
Lower carbohydrate, Higher fat diet
Intervention Description
Study participants will receive prepackaged prepared foods as needed to achieve a meal plan, free-of-charge for a 12-month period. The lower carbohydrate, higher fat diet provides 45% energy from carbohydrate, 35% energy from fat, and 20% energy from protein. The diet falls within the range of current dietary recommendations.
Intervention Type
Other
Intervention Name(s)
Individualized Counseling
Intervention Description
Participants assigned to the usual care group will be provided consultation with a research staff dietetics professional, who will provide publicly available print material that describes dietary and physical activity guidelines to promote weight loss and maintenance, at baseline (after randomization) and again at 6 months.
