Replace meals with a plant-based meal replacement and self-prepared Meditteranean meals for a max 1200 calorie per day. Enroll in a 12 week intensive lifestyle intervention program.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Efficacy of plant-based meal replacement system on A1-C levels
Blood draw to measure the effect of the diet on the A1-C level. Normal A1C is at or below 5.7%. Prediabetes levels range between 5.8%-6.4%. Diabetes is at or above 6.5%.
