The Effect of Different Diets on Arterial Stiffness in Obese Patients on Semaglutide

Официальное название

The Effect of Mediterranean or High Protein/Low Carbohydrate Diet on Arterial Stiffness in Non-diabetic, Obese Patients on Semaglutide: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Обзор

In patients initiating Semaglutide for weight management, the objective is to compare the effect of the Mediterranean diet and the high protein/low carbohydrate (HP/LC) diet CV parameters, namely arterial stiffness, measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), and visceral adipose tissue, in addition to other metabolic indicators.

Подробное описание

This is a 6-month open label pilot RCT that will be conducted on Lebanese subjects with obesity, upon the initiation of Semaglutide for medical weight management, as recommended by their physician. Patients will be randomized to 2 treatment arms: Med diet and HP/LC diet. Med diet will be hypocaloric, allowing the same energy restriction, of 500 Kcal/d, while the HP/LC diet will be ad libitum. Participants will be recruited from the Endocrine clinics at AUB-MC, and from satellite clinic next in Beirut. Brochures and posters of the trial will be available in the clinic waiting areas. Patients of both participating and non-participating physicians will be recruited in the study.

Вмешательства

• Другое Dietary Intervention Med Diet
  The diet will consist of a calorie-restricted Med diet, with 500 Kcal/d energy restriction. The intervention consists of individual and reinforcement sessions on Med diet. During these sessions, the RA will go over the benefits of Med diet, what composition it should have, and how to make appropriate choices for meal planning, in addition to providing food lists, by season. The individual sessions with subjects will also allow to individualize the diet plan.
• Другое Dietary Intervention HP/LC Diet
  This is a non-ketogenic diet consisting of ad libitum intake of proteins, fat, and vegetables, with restriction of daily carbohydrates to \<130 g/d. The intervention consists of individual and reinforcement educational sessions on HP/LC, same as with Med diet (above). The individual sessions with subjects will also allow to individualize the diet plan.
