Brief Summary: The prevalence of overweight and lifestyle related diseases such as cardiovascular disease CVD and type 2 diabetes T2D is increasing world wide The metabolic syndrome MeS is a condition characterized by abdominal obesity high blood lipids high blood pressure and elevated blood sugar MeS is associated with an increased risk of developing CVD and T2D Dietary fibers and whey protein have independently shown beneficial effects on several of these risk factors in previous studies Whey protein is furthermore seen to show positive effects on bone turnover

The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether an increased intake of dietary fibers and whey protein separately or combined over a period of 12 weeks will affect the risk markers of MeS and bone turnover in abdominally obese subjects

A total of 80 people with abdominal obesity will be included The design is a randomized double blinded controlled dietary intervention trial Subjects are assigned to one of four experimental groups Each group are provided with test products containing either high or low whey protein and high or low dietary fibers to replace part of their regular diet The subjects are instructed in how to incorporate the test products in their habitual diets in order to maintain weight stability

The primary outcome is postprandial lipaemia PPL - an independent risk factor of developing CVD PPL is estimated by performing a standardized high fat meal test during which postprandial level of triglycerides is measured The authors hypothesize that a diet of high content of whey protein and high dietary fiber during 12 weeks will induce a reduction in PPL
