KETO-WEI study in individuals with obesity:

The UAB Department of Nutrition Sciences is conducting a nutrition study looking at whether a ketogenic diet can benefit appetite, while increasing energy expenditure, during weight-loss maintenance in individuals with obesity who have recently lost weight.

You may qualify if you are between the ages of 18-65, have obesity, have NOT been diagnosed with Diabetes, are NOT pregnant, are willing to consume meal replacements during the weight loss phase (4-6 weeks) and a prescribed diet during the weight maintenance phase (6 weeks), and are willing to travel to UAB for testing visits.

Qualified participants will receive free meal replacements, food/meals, personal health information, individual sessions with a Registered Dietitian, and monetary compensation for their time.
