Official title

Dietary Pistachio Intake and Nutrition-Related Outcomes in Individuals Using GLP-1 Receptor Agonists: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Overview

In this study will look at how eating pistachios every day might affect participants weight, how healthy their diet is, and how they feel when eating. Investigators want to see if adding pistachios to meals for 12 weeks helps participants feel fuller, have more energy, and improve body composition. The study will include adults who have been taking GLP-1 medicines like semaglutide or tirzepatide for at least three months. Investigators also want to see if eating pistachios improves overall diet quality and health markers like tiredness and certain levels in blood.

Interventions

  • Dietary supplement Pistachios
    Participants will eat 2 ounces, or about 53 grams, of dry-roasted, unsalted pistachios each day along with their regular diet
  • Procedure Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans
    DEXA scans will be used to measure body fat

Primary outcome measures

  • Change is Satiety as measured by the Hunger and Satiety Visual Analog Scales (VAS) [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in fatigue as measured by the Fatigue Severity VAS-F Survey [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in mood/well-being as measured by the Mental clarity, energy levels, and motivation VAS. [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in dietary quality as measured by Healthy Eating Index (HEI) [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in food enjoyment as measured by the Food Pleasure Scale (FPS) [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in fasting glucose as measured by medical record review [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in HbA1c as measured by medical record review [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in total cholesterol as measured by medical record review [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in LDL-C as measured by medical record review [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in HDL-C as measured by medical record review [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
Secondary outcome measures (6)
  • Change in body weight as measured by medical record review [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in waist circumference as measured by medical record review [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in hip circumference as measured by medical record review [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in fat mass as measured by DEXA scan [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in lean body mass as measured by DEXA scan [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
  • Change in overall body fat percentage as measured by DEXA scan [Time frame: Baseline, End of study (12 weeks)]
