Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Lifestyle choices,including diet,are conducive to healthy body weights in children. Dairy products and calcium supplementation have been associated with moderation of body weight and body fat. This study was designed to test the following hypotheses with overweight and obese adolescents consuming a controlled diet: * Dietary calcium supplementation as calcium carbonate or dairy calcium modulates energy balance in adolescents. * Increased calcium in the diet of adolescents will increase fecal fat excretion and thereby decrease fat absorption. * Calcium and dairy product supplementation will increase lipid oxidation resulting in an increase in energy expenditure.
