Summary

To examine how a low glycemic index diet (LGID) changes biochemical parameters, body measurements, and body image perception in obese individuals with insulin resistance. Obesity groups with insulin resistance who received a control diet (CD) and a LGID will be compared with each other in terms of biochemical parameters, body image perception and body measurements. In addition, each group will be compared with the start and end measurements over the same values.

Detailed description

The main purpose of this study is to determine the effect of LGID on body image perception, biochemical parameters and body measurements in obese individuals with insulin resistance. Sub-objectives of the study; Determination of the effect of LGID on fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin level and HOMA-IR levels compared to CD. Determination of the effect of LGID on body weight, fat mass, muscle mass, body muscle ratio and body mass index (BMI) compared to CD. Determination of the effect of LGID on body image perception status compared to CD.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Low Glycemic Index Diet	1. Participants who came to the hospital for control and were interested in the study contacted the study researchers and eligibility was determined through face-to-face interviews. Potential participants were invited to a screening visit to verify eligibility. 2. The LGID program was initiated as an outpatient treatment in patients who applied to a dietitian. 3) Medium and high GI carbohydrates (GI \> 55) were excluded from the diet and only low GI (GI \< 50) foodstuffs were allowed. 4) A list of low glycemic index foods were given to the patients. In addition, a list of foods to avoid (medium and high glycemic index) is provided.
