Summary

This study tests whether a calorie-controlled DASH diet (heart-healthy eating plan) affects weight and gut bacteria differently than a standard American diet. Twenty-eight black and white women with obesity will follow one of the two diets for 4 weeks. Researchers will collect stool samples to see how gut microbes change, aiming to understand why obesity rates differ between racial groups.
