NCT03129997

Brief Summary

The objective is to evaluate, in healthy, eutrophic women, if gluten intake influences on body weight, basal metabolic rate and macronutrient intake. In a crossover double masked model, 30 volunteers will be randomized into two groups, half of them will initiate the experiment by taking 2 "placebo" muffins daily for 3 weeks (Placebo phase) and the remnant volunteers will take 2 "gluten" muffins for 3 weeks (Gluten phase). After one day of wash out, the volunteers will be transferred for the other phase to complete 3 more experimental weeks.
