Study Summary

This trial looks at how red meat, meat alternatives, and beans affect health and behaviour.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy adults aged 18-55 who are open to following a specific meal plan featuring red meat, a meat analogue, or beans/legumes as protein sources for four weeks. Participants must be willing to stop taking any pre- or pro-biotic supplements and have no medical conditions that restrict eating certain foods.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing the effects of different protein sources on metabolism and behavior by comparing diets with red meat, a plant-based meat substitute (meat analogue), or beans/legumes. It's a three-arm pilot study where participants are randomly assigned one of these diets.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves dietary changes rather than medication, side effects may include digestive discomfort depending on individual reactions to the diet changes such as bloating, gas, or altered bowel movements.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Meat analogueExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Individuals will be asked to consume a commercial meat analogue product as their only source of protein and follow an individualized meal plan for 4 weeks. Thereafter, they will be instructed to continue the meat analogue consumption with any other foods desired for 4 weeks.

Group II: BeefExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Individuals will be asked to consume beef as their only source of protein and follow an individualized meal plan for 4 weeks. Thereafter, they will be instructed to continue beef consumption with any other foods desired for 4 weeks.

Group III: Beans/legumesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Individuals will be asked to consume beans/legumes as their only source of protein and follow an individualized meal plan for 4 weeks. Thereafter, they will be instructed to continue the bean/legume consumption with any other foods desired for 4 weeks.
