Study Summary

This trial aims to compare two different approaches for helping adults with obesity improve their eating habits and overall health. One approach focuses on dietary fiber and behavior change, while the other approach is standard weight loss education. The goal is to see which approach is more effective in improving eating habits, cognition, weight, and markers of chronic disease risk.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with obesity who are interested in improving their eating habits, weight, and health markers related to chronic diseases. Participants must meet certain criteria set by the researchers but these specific requirements are not provided here.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether focusing on dietary fiber can help people change their behavior and improve health more than just getting standard weight loss advice. It's a three-part test where participants are randomly assigned to one of the groups.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves dietary changes rather than medication, side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort such as bloating or gas due to increased fiber intake.
