NCT03987776

Brief Summary

Diet has a major role in the etiology of obesity, and there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that a variety of dietary factors can modulate obesity-induced chronic low-grade inflammation and thus the course of obesity-related chronic non-communicable diseases. The present intervention study aims to evaluate the effect of an anti-inflammatory diet on weight loss, body composition, cardiometabolic risk factors and immune system response among young adults of the obese younger adults.

Study Arms (2)

Anti-inflammatory diet

EXPERIMENTAL

energy-reduced diet with the use of low glycemic foods, wholegrain products, legumes, colorful vegetables and fruit, nuts, seeds, marine fish, olive oil, green/black tea, and multiple spices and herbs

Behavioral: Anti-inflammatory energy-restricted diet

Control energy-resticted diet

EXPERIMENTAL

isocaloric to anti-inflammatory diet, energy restricted diet (55-60% carbohydrates, 25% fat, 15-20% protein) used in a standard obesity management

Behavioral: Control energy-restricted diet

Interventions

During 6 months the participants will we asked to use recommended energy-reduced diet with anti-inflammatory properties, based on colorful vegetables and fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds, marine fish, whole-grain products, and daily use of olive oil, green/black tea, multiple spices and herbs.

Anti-inflammatory diet

During 6 months the participants of control group will be asked to use recommended energy-reduced diet based on standard obesity management (55-60% carbohydrates, 25% fat, 15-20% protein)
