High Fat Diet II on Weight Loss (HFD)

August 1, 2011 updated by: Christiana Care Health Services

Effect of High Saturated Fat No Starch Diet vs. Low Saturated Fat, Low Trans Fat, High Fiber Diet on Weight Loss and Markers of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

To evaluate two different diets and their effects on weight loss and measurements of several risk factors for cardiovascular disease. One diet will be a high saturated fat diet (HSFD) and the other is a low saturated fat diet (LSFD) that limits fat but especially saturated fat as red meat. All participants in this study must eat both diets as this is a randomized cross-over design.
