Summary

This trial explores how nutrition affects the brain and how it could lead to obesity. It uses MRI to study the hypothalamus.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for overweight individuals aged 20-40 with a BMI of 25-29.9, willing to try a new diet for two weeks and undergo MRI scans. It's not suitable for those with major health issues, metal implants, extreme diets like veganism, or who are pregnant.
What is being tested?
The study tests how three different diet modifications affect brain inflammation related to obesity by using MRI scans of the hypothalamus over a period of 14 days.
