Summary

A dietary pattern based on Mediterranean diet has been reported as healthy for humans, as well as doing aerobic exercise regularly, diminishing the development of potential inflammation in subjects. Protein intake has been proposed as nutritional strategy to further improve these positives outcomes in terms of preventing inflammation diseases. In this work, overweight patients followed a Mediterranean diet together with aerobic exercise according to WHO-guidelines and were supplemented with 20 g of hemp protein/day, for twelve weeks. Anthropometric and biochemical measures (including analysis of oligoelements), as well as plasma circulating amino acids were evaluated in each patient at the end of the intervention, to assess whether biologically relevant changes could be observed.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Mediterranean diet supplement with 20 g / day of hemp protein.	All participants followed a low-energy diet (1315 kcal/daily) based on Mediterranean diet for 12 weeks, supplement with 20 g / day of hemp protein. The specific menu was designed by a trainee nutritionist. The program prescribed five meals a day, with the time customized to fit the lifestyle of each patient. Based on the baseline metabolism, the energy and nutritional parameters of every patient were computed. Patients reported the dietary intake data daily. The intervention included face to face visit every two weeks, individual nutrition counseling and education sessions.
