Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of two different non-energy restricted controlled carbohydrate programs with the American Diabetes Associations diet on glycosylated hemoglobin and other diabetes risk factors in obese adolescents with metabolic syndrome a constellation of symptoms associated with the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease
Detailed Description: The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of two different non-energy restricted controlled carbohydrate programs with the American Diabetes Associations diet on glycosylated hemoglobin and other diabetes risk factors in obese adolescents with metabolic syndrome a constellation of symptoms associated with the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease

We plan to address the following issues

1 To test the hypothesis that a controlled carbohydrate nutrition plan will be superior to the standard ADA diet in controlling blood sugar as measured by glycosylated hemoglobin HbA1C decreasing cardiovascular risk factors Serum Lipid Levels Blood Pressure and decreasing weight in adolescents with metabolic syndrome
2 To evaluate the tolerability of a non-energy restricted very-low carbohydrate diet in these patients as measured by the SF-10 for Children the Brief Symptom Inventory BSI and a scaled questionnaire regarding side effects
3 To compare two different maintenance programs in the group who receive the non- energy restricted very-low carbohydrate diet and compare each group to the group
