They shouldn't have conditions like PCOS or be on medications that affect the study results. Those with recent significant weight changes or certain health issues can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing how high and low glycemic diets impact weight loss in obese African American women. It's based on the idea that sugary foods may cause more fat storage in these individuals. Participants will randomly receive either a diet high or low in glycemic index to see which helps better with weight loss.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves dietary changes rather than medication, side effects might include typical diet adjustment symptoms such as changes in energy levels, digestive discomfort, and potential cravings depending on individual responses to the new diet.
