What is being tested?

The study tests the effectiveness of a community-delivered, 3-month NEW Soul program promoting healthy nutrition through two methods: in-person weekly classes with restaurant vouchers versus receiving only the vouchers. The impact on weight, eating habits, and quality of life will also be analyzed for cost-effectiveness.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves dietary changes to a plant-based diet, potential side effects may include digestive adjustments like bloating or gas initially as the body adapts to increased fiber intake. Nutritional deficiencies are possible if the diet isn't well-balanced.
