Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Compared to control foods, consumption of 3 cups of cooked lentils given weekly for 12 weeks will significantly improve glucose tolerance and lower LDL-cholesterol in individuals with high cholesterol and obesity.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multi-site, randomized, controlled, parallel group food study designed to examine the health benefits, specifically glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity and LDL-cholesterol in overweight individuals with a high waist circumference and elevated LDL-cholesterol. Recruitment will consist of approximately 102 overweight participants (n= 51 participants per site, at 2 sites located in Winnipeg and Toronto) with high waist circumference and elevated LDL-cholesterol.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cooked Lentils

The study group will be asked to consume food items containing one serving of (0.3 cups) of cooked lentils per day for the first 5 days, followed by one serving of (0.6 cups) of cooked lentils per day 5 times per week (equivalent of 3 cups cooked lentils per week) for the remainder of the 12-week schedule.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cooked Lentils

Intervention Type OTHER

Consume food items containing one serving of (0.3 cups) of cooked lentils per day for the first 5 days, followed by one serving of (0.6 cups) of cooked lentils per day 5 times per week (equivalent of 3 cups cooked lentils per week) for the remainder of the 12-week schedule.

Potato-Based Foods

The control group will be asked to consume one serving per day of potato-based foods in matrices similar to those containing lentils in the same 12-week schedule, including the smaller serving size for the first 5 days.
