During the feeding periods, you can expect to:
-Eat only the provided foods: You will consume a provided diet that includes study oils baked into daily yogurts, muffins, and dinner rolls. Aside from zero-calorie beverages like water, diet soda, black coffee, and tea, you must agree to eat only the food we provide.
-Visit our clinic daily: You will need to visit our Addison, IL clinic every weekday morning (Monday through Friday) to eat a supervised breakfast. We will send you home with a cooler packed with your lunch, dinner, and snacks for the rest of the day, as well as all your meals for the weekend.
-Attend clinic visits: The study requires 7 clinic visits for health assessments. These visits will include blood draws, physical activity questionnaires, and liquid meal tolerance tests (drinking a nutrient shake and having your blood sugar monitored).
