Feasibility & Implementation of a Plant-Based Weight-Loss Program in an Office-Based Setting
Sponsor: Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
Summary
This prospective study aims to assess the feasibility and implementation of a plant-based, weight-loss program in an office setting. The study will also assess changes in body weight, blood pressure, plasma lipids, glycated hemoglobin, and body composition with a 12-week, plant-based, weight-loss program. These health benefits may illustrate feasibility to physicians and healthcare professionals elsewhere.
