Official title

A Comparison of A Hypocaloric Diet Plus One Hass Avocado Per Day Versus An Equally Hypocaloric Diet for Weight Loss, Satiety, Changes in Body Composition, and Risk Factors for Chronic Disease (HAWLS)

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This study will compare two energy reduced diets; one diet will include one Haas avocado/day while the other diet will follow the usual American dietary pattern. All subjects will receive a dietary plan that reduces their usual intake by 500kcal/day with the same percentage of fat, protein and carbohydrates. The results from this study may help to explain if eating one Haas avocado/day can achieve at least equivalent weight loss when compared to the usual American diet.
