Brief Summary

Research Question: Does replacing Sugar Sweetened (SS) beverages with water consumption promote a decrease in triglycerides blood levels over 9 months in overweight women? The primary outcome variable is the triglycerides blood level. In addition, the investigators will consider as secondary outcome variables the following parameters of metabolic syndrome: weight, fasting insulin and glucose, HOMA, HDL-cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and waist circumference. The investigators will also consider as an outcome variable glycosylated (or glycated) hemoglobin (HbA1c). Design: Two groups randomized controlled trial, with an intervention group (water and education provision) and control group (education provision only). The investigators propose to recruit young adult women aged \>18-\<45 y who are overweight or obese (BMI \>25 and \<39), and consume at least 250 calories per day from caloric beverages (e.g., includes soft drinks, juices, sports drinks, sweetened tea or coffee, and alcoholic beverages) The intervention group (water and education provision) will be compared with a control condition (education provision only). The intervention has been proposed to be carried out for 9 months period with objective measurements of body weight and fat, total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, fasting blood glucose, HbA1C, hydration status, blood pressure, and 24 hrs dietary recalls at baseline, 3,6 and 9 months

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 45 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Young adult women aged \>18-\<45 y
  • BMI \>25 and \<39
  • Consume at least 250 calories per day from caloric beverage
  • Women planning to live in the study area over the next year
  • Willingness to participate in the required evaluations
  • Women have given their consent to participate

You may not qualify if:

  • Report losing \>5% of current body weight in the previous 6 months. Individuals who have recently lost significant body weight may be at high risk for weight regain, which could result in this study examining prevention of weight regain rather than weight loss.
  • If they report to be on a diet to reduce weight at the time of recruitment
  • Report pregnancy during the previous 6 months or if they are lactating at the time of recruitment or they are planning to become pregnant in the following 12 months.
  • Report current treatment for any medical condition that could impact metabolic function (e.g.., diabetes mellitus, cancer, Etc.).
  • History of myocardial infarction or heart surgery such as bypass or angioplasty. These individuals will be excluded because this may require additional medical monitoring and adjustments to the exercise prescription.
  • Report taking any type of medication that could affect metabolism, energy intake or change body weight (e.g., hypothyroidism).
  • Report hospitalization for psychiatric problems prior year to the enrollment period.
  • If they are on a regime to increase muscle mass or taking anabolics
  • Excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages, defined as 21 or more drinks per week
