Comparison between two groups, experimental and control. Experimental will undergo lectures on a diet to increase fiber consumption. Blood tests and anthropometric measures will be done before and after the 3-months long program. Comparisons will be made pre and post and with groups.
The Full Plate Diet Clinical Trial is a study that will verify if the three months course is sufficient to change diet behavior of the participants. Forty participants will be recruited and then randomly assigned to one of two groups (20 in each group): The Experimental group will attend one weekly session with instructions on how to increase fiber intake; Control group will not have the intervention. The goal of the study is to see if the Full Plate Diet program will improve blood measures of metabolic diseases and weight.
