What is being tested?

The study tests how different diets affect when people feel hungry and how their bodies use energy. It involves two diet interventions where participants eat provided meals, track their food intake in real-time, and stay at the clinic twice for monitoring including blood draws and other samples.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on dietary patterns rather than medication, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from frequent blood draws and providing bodily samples during the inpatient stays.
