Dietary Protein Sources and Glycemic Variability
Sponsor: Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital
Summary
This goal of trial is to evaluate the effects of plant-based vs. animal-based diets on glycemic variability in overweight or obese adults through a 3-week dietary intervention. The main question it aims to answer is: Will a plant-based diet be able to reduce glycemic variability in overweight or obese adults compared with an animal-based diet? Participants will strictly follow a designated plant-based or animal-based dietary regimen throughout the duration of the 3-week study. They will wear a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) throughout the study, engage in weekly clinical assessments, and record their daily dietary intake.

Interventions
Plant-based Diet
Participants assigned to the plant-based diet group will be provided three meals daily for 3 weeks. Of the energy of each meal, 60% is from carbohydrates, 15% from plant protein, and 25% from fat. The main dietary sources of plant protein will be soybeans, flat beans, nuts, grains, and algae.
Animal-based Diet
Participants assigned to the animal-based diet group will be provided three meals daily for 3 weeks. Of the energy of each meal, 60% is from carbohydrates, 15% from animal protein, and 25% from fat. The main dietary sources of animal protein will be chicken, beef, pork, fish, eggs, and dairy products.
