About this trial

This study is seeking to examine combinations of two different dietary interventions on cancer risk.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

≥18 age

Body mass index ≥30 kg/m2

Dietary fiber intake ≤15 g/day

Compatible cell phone for use of ecological momentary assessment app

Disqualifiers

Self-reported diagnosis that precludes fiber intake (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease)

Food allergies or intolerances that limit ability to engage with the intervention

Positive screen on the SCOFF eating disorder screener39

Current self-reported use of GLP-1 receptor agonists

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Dietary fiber intake

Dietary fiber intake as reported on 3-day diet records and analyzed according to Nutrition Data System for Research; reported as a mean intake over three days in grams per day

Time frame
Baseline, post-intervention (approximately 3 months), and post-observation (approximately 12 months)

Secondary outcomes

1

Body mass/weight

Body mass/weight will be measured in kilograms

Time frame
Baseline, post-intervention (approximately 3 months), and post-observation (approximately 12 months)
2

Blood pressure

Blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) will be measured at each time frame (in millimeters of mercury \[mmHg\])

Time frame
Baseline, post-intervention (approximately 3 months), and post-observation (approximately 12 months)
3

Blood-based measures of inflammation

Venous blood samples will be collected and analyzed for inflammatory markers: Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-5 (IL-5), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α).

Time frame
Baseline, post-intervention (approximately 3 months), and post-observation (approximately 12 months)
4

Blood-based measures of oxidative stress

Venous blood samples will be collected and analyzed for measures of oxidative stress, including reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation

Time frame
Baseline, post-intervention (approximately 3 months), and post-observation (approximately 12 months)
