What this study is about

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.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Treatments and study arms

Fiber Intervention

Behavioral

Group education and phone-based motivational interviewing to gradually increase dietary fiber consumption to 30-35 grams per day.

Behavioral

Group education and phone-based motivational interviewing to promote current evidence-based behaviors to promote weight loss via achieving a negative energy balance.

Primary outcomes

Body weightMeasured at baseline (time 1, month 0), post-intervention (time 2, month 15), and post-observation (time 3, month 27)
