Interventions
High Protein Diet Counceling
16 week group-based weight loss program with counseling to consume a high protein diet. Approximate macronutrient distributions (carbohydrate:protein:fat) will be 32%:40%:28%.
Standard Protein Diet Counceling
16 week group-based weight loss program with counseling to consume a standard protein diet. Approximate macronutrient distributions (carbohydrate:protein:fat) will be 53%:20%:27%.
Protein Supplement
Non-responders from either initial randomized group assigned to this intervention receive twice daily protein supplements.
Supervised Exercise
Non-responders from either initial randomized group assigned to this intervention receive twice weekly small-group supervised resistance exercise training sessions.
