Brief Summary:
The investigators have previously found that a starch- and sucrosereduced diet (SSRD) has led decreased gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with irritabel bowel syndrome (IBS). At the same time, investigators found that the weight was reduced and the nutrient intake was improved with a more favorable metabolic profile. However, it is a challenge to change lifestyle, and most persons fail to keep on with an improved diet for a long time. Investigators therefore now want to conduct a clinical trial with SSRD in overweight/obesity for 3 months. Persons with a BMI \>25 kg/m2 will be included. To examine whether a feedback about improved metabolic profile enhances the compliance, participants will be randomized to be informed or not about the metabolic profile after the 6-week visit. Investigator´s hypothesis is that information about the improvement in the metabolic profile should increase the motivation and compliance in the patients, and thereby render better effects.
Detailed Description:
Patients with overweight or obesity will be recrutied to this open-label, randomized clinical trial. All participants will be informed about the starch- and sucrosereduced diet (SSRD). The diet will be continued for 3 months, with a physical visit with completion of study questionnaires, blood and feces sampling and measurements of anthropometry at baseline, after 6 weeks and 3 months. Thereafter, participants are free to eat whatever they want, but will be examined again after 1 year. Participants will be randomized to whether participants should be informed or not about the metabolic profile measured at week 6. Participants who are randomized to get information about the metabolic profile, will be called when the blood samples have been analysed, and informed about the changes in metabolic and nutrient results between baseline and 6 weeks. The investigators will then evaluate whether participants who were randomized to get information about their blood samples after 6 weeks, will have better compliance to the diet, and thereby have better effect on weight reduction and metabolic profiles. At the blood sampling after 3 months, all participants will be informed about their metabolic profiles. It is also of interest to study the effect at follow-up after 1 year, to see whether participants who were informed at 6 weeks differ from participants who were not.
