Summary

This trial is evaluating the effect of a non-restrictive, satiating intervention on appetite control, weight loss and maintenance in men and women living with obesity, compared to a conventional restrictive intervention and a control group.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 18-50 with obesity, defined by a waist circumference over 102 cm for men or over 88 cm for women, and a BMI between 30 and <40. Participants should not be on medications affecting weight or appetite, have chronic diseases, use excessive alcohol or caffeine, or be pregnant. They also shouldn't engage in high physical activity.
What is being tested?
The study tests if a non-restrictive satiating diet helps control appetite and maintain weight loss better than conventional diets. Over 18 months, participants follow either this diet throughout; switch from calorie restriction to the satiating diet; or follow minimal guidelines then recommended maintenance strategies.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not specified but may include changes in digestion due to dietary adjustments. As it's focused on dietary interventions rather than medication, severe side effects are unlikely compared to drug trials.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Non-restrictive satiating interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The non-restrictive satiating intervention will include guidelines and recipes to prepare highly satiating meals that will be low in energy density and glycemic index and high in protein, polyunsaturated fats, vitamins and minerals (e.g. calcium), and certain constituents of spices (e.g. capsaicin).
Group II: Conventional restrictive intervention + non-restrictive satiating interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Conventional restrictive intervention consisting of a -500 kcal/d calorie deficit (P1) followed by a non-restrictive satiating intervention (P2)
Group III: Minimal healthy guidelinesPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Considering recommendations from the latest Canadian Obesity Guidelines, the control group will receive a minimal intervention based on the Canada's Food Guide for Healthy Eating
