Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
Plant-based diet
Arm Description
Subjects will receive a handbook on plant-based diet including recipe recommendations. They will follow a strict plant-based diet for 21 day.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Change in postprandial sleepiness
Measured by Epworth Sleepiness Questionnaire before and after a plant-based diet. The Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) is an 8 item questionnaire that measures daytime sleepiness in participants. Possible scores range from 0-24, with higher scores indicating a higher average sleep propensity in daily life, and a worse outcome.
