Summary
The central research question aims to understand what drives individuals to make and maintain a vegan / vegetarian dietary decision, to investigate whether there are possible predictors that might influence such a decision and whether personality differences already exist or can only be measured after the change in diet. The investigators will examine the effects of a high-fiber diet on food wanting on a neural and on a behavioral level. The microbiome is suggested to mediate the expected changes in food wanting.
