Summary

The purpose of this study is to test whether replacing dietary carbohydrate with protein, using beef as the primarily source of protein, will improve risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Detailed description

The primary aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that replacing dietary carbohydrate with protein, using beef as the primarily source of protein, will have beneficial effects on components of atherogenic dyslipidemia and postprandial lipoprotein response and that these effects will be independent of saturated fat intake.

Conditions

• Healthy
• Cardiovascular Disease
• Atherogenic Dyslipidemia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	High Carbohydrate, High Saturated Fat Diet	50% Carbohydrate; 12% Protein; 38% Fat (15% Saturated Fat; 15% Monounsaturated Fat)
OTHER	Low Carbohydrate, High Saturated Fat Diet	31% Carbohydrate; 31% Protein; 38% Fat (15% Saturated Fat; 14% Monounsaturated Fat)
OTHER	Low Carbohydrate, Low Saturated Fat Diet	31% Carbohydrate; 31% Protein; 38% Fat (8% Saturated Fat; 21% Monounsaturated Fat)
