• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A

Summary

The overall aim in this "proof-of-concept" study is to evaluate if a diet concept, based on foods that have individually been reported to beneficially affect gut microbiota in fact has an effect on gut microbiota composition and activity among healthy and obese subjects and whether the effects are associated with altered cardiometabolic risk factors. The aim is further to investigate if such alterations are reflected in changes of the fecal and plasma metabolome. In total, 40 men and women, who meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be invited to participate in the study. The participants will follow an intervention diet for 6 weeks and a control diet for 6 weeks, with a 6-week wash-out period in between and will be randomized to either begin with the intervention diet or the control diet. The study will be running over 18 weeks (including a 6-week wash-out period) and it will include 9 visits at the clinic.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Diet	A review has been undertaken to both identify specific bacteria associated with cardiometabolic risk factors and food items that have been shown to affect such bacteria in a beneficial direction. The intervention diet will include a variety of food items e.g. vegetables, fermented vegetables, fermented dairy products and cereal products. The control diet is based on a Swedish Average Diet
