Study Overview

Brief Summary

The overall objective of this three-arm randomized controlled trial is to compare a dietary fiber-focused behavioral intervention to standard weight loss education for improving eating-related behavior and cognition, weight, and metabolic markers of chronic disease risk in a population of adults with obesity.
