Effect of ideal protein versus low-fat diet for weight loss: A randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Current guidelines call for peer-reviewed evidence of efficacy and safety for commercial weight loss programs to be recommended as options for those seeking to lose weight.

Objectives

This study investigated the Ideal Protein (IP) system, a commercial weight loss program, compared to a guideline-based, low-calorie/low-fat (LCLF) dietary behavioral intervention on body weight and CVD risk factors in adults with obesity.

Methods

In this randomized, assessor-blinded, parallel-group trial, 192 participants with body mass index (BMI) ≥30 and ≤49 kg/m² were assigned to either the IP Phase I diet or LFLC diet interventions. The IP Phase I is focused on lean protein and vegetables with avoidance of fruit and dairy, while the LFLC diet goals include <30%
