Study Summary

This trial will explore the effects of pre-meal water consumption (500ml) and different water intake levels (1500ml) with a hypocaloric diet on appetite, hormones, and executive function in adults 50+ with overweight/obesity.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people over 50 who are overweight or obese, with a BMI of 25-40 and stable weight in the last six months. It's not suitable for those with certain medical conditions like uncontrolled high blood pressure, special diet needs due to diseases like diabetes, allergies to specific foods in the test meals, or a history of gastrointestinal issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how drinking water before meals or throughout the day combined with a low-calorie diet affects weight loss and appetite control compared to just a low-calorie diet. Participants will be randomly placed into one of three groups and use smart water bottles to track their intake.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves increased water intake and dietary changes rather than medication, side effects may include increased urination. However, significant adverse effects are unlikely given the nature of the intervention.
