Participant Flow

Healthy, young adult males and females free of chronic medical conditions were recruited to participate in this study. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects before study participation, and this study was approved by the University of Florida's institutional review board (UF IRB#201900988). Advertisements were created for the general public for recruitment of participants with no clinical relationship.

Of 12 enrolled participants, 10 met inclusion criteria and commenced study intervention.

Measure
Protein Restriction Group
Subjects will follow a 4 day protein restricted diet using Scandishake® mixed with almond milk which will be provided. 4 Day Protein Restricted Diet: Subjects will follow a 4 day protein restricted diet using Scandishake® mixed with almond milk which will be provided. They may also drink water. No food, other beverages, or alcohol may be consumed. The amount of diet to be consumed will be calculated for each patient based upon resting energy expenditures plus additional energy needs. These will be consumed by the study subjects at home in an unrestricted manner, in that they may be consumed at any point of time in the day.
