Study Arms (2)

Low energy dense

EXPERIMENTAL

Diet of the LED group contained 30%fat, 15% protein and 55% carbohydrate. Most of the consumed carbohydrates in the LED diet group were fruits, vegetables and whole grains. In addition, this group received more servings of vegetables groups daily in the form of liquid diets or some menus contain more vegetables

Other: low energy denseOther: diet

control

EXPERIMENTAL

In the group with a control diet, 35% of the energy was provided by fat, 15% by protein and 50% by carbohydrate

Other: controlOther: diet

Interventions

This group received a diet appropriate with their weight in the form of low energy density diet

Also known as: LED
