Investigations of Botanicals on Food Intake, Satiety, Weight Loss, and Oxidative Stress

Participant food intake will be measured at each meal of every test meal day, once at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Test meal days occur at the baseline visit, after six weeks of the the first condition (week 6), after the following six week wash out period (week 12), after the following six weeks of the second condition (week 18), after the following six week wash out period (week 24), and after the six weeks of the third and final condition (week 30). Conditions include both the doses of the treatment and the placebo dose as well.

Participants will provide satiety ratings throughout the test meal day. Test meal days occur at the baseline visit, after six weeks of the the first condition (week 6), after the following six week wash out period (week 12), after the following six weeks of the second condition (week 18), after the following six week wash out period (week 24), and after the six weeks of the third and final condition (week 30).

Fasting body weights will be taken at each of the test meal visits.

After all baseline measures have been completed, participants will be randomly assigned to either the nutrition education + supplement group, or the nutrition education + placebo group. The length of the intervention is twelve weeks. Nutrition classes will take place once a week for 1 1/2 hours. Subjects will be encouraged to increase fiber and decrease sugar intake. They will also be separated into gender-specific classes.
Active and inactive supplements will be identical in appearance and taste. Active supplements will contain 2,700 mgs/day of Super CitriMax (hydroxycitrate)and 400 µg per day of ChromeMate (niacin-bound Chromium). Supplements will be in powder and tablet form, and should be taken 30 minutes prior to each meal.
