简要总结
Individual food preferences are not considered in designing weight-loss therapies. This project will determine if short-term weight-loss is improved by matching participants with diets that reflect their genetically-determined food preferences.
详细描述
Dislike of the diet is a common complaint in weight loss therapy that contributes to poor outcomes. Ironically, individual food preferences are rarely taken into account in designing weight-loss interventions. In the proposed research, we will utilize genetically-determined differences in food preferences, indexed by PROP bitter taste phenotype to develop a novel approach to weight loss therapy. The overall goal of this project is to determine if weight loss following a 6 month intervention can be substantially improved by matching participants with diets that reflect their genetically-determined food preferences. The study is designed as a randomized clinical weight-loss intervention trial in women in which PROP non-tasters and super-tasters. will be randomized to either the low-carbohydrate or the low-fat diet condition

研究组 & 干预措施
Low-Fat Diet
Participants are provided with a 6-month standard lifestyle intervention. They will follow an energy restricted, low-fat diet where the daily energy consumption target is 1,200- 1,500 kilocalories/d. The fat intake target is 28% or less of daily kilocalories. Gradual increase in physical activity until participants are active at least 40 min per day, 5 times/week.
干预措施: Low-fat Diet (Behavioral)
Low-Carbohydrate Diet
Participants are provided with a 6-month standard lifestyle intervention. They will follow a low-carbohydrate diet where the daily carbohydrate target is 50g/d. There is no energy restriction. Gradual increase in physical activity until participants are active at least 40 min per day, 5 times/week.
干预措施: Low-Carbohydrate Diet (Behavioral)
