5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The proposed study looks at the effect of long-term diet modification with or without full-fat dairy products or restrictive eating on body weight, body composition and cardiometabolic markers in healthy overweight/obese men and women.
Detailed Description
A total of 93 males and females will participate in the study at the University of Toronto. At the beginning and after 12 weeks, body weight, composition will be measured through Bodpod scans. Resting metabolic rate and thermogenesis will be measured by indirect calorimetry. Also, fecal samples will be collected for gut microbiome profiling along with blood for glucose, insulin, hormones, triacylglycerol, HbA1c, short-chain fatty acid, red blood cells and FGF21. Urine samples will be collected throughout the study. A followup session at 16 weeks will reassess previous measures.
