NCT ID NCT07113561
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a high-protein diet plus resistance training helps people with obesity keep fat off better than a standard low-calorie diet. Sixty adults will follow either a high-protein diet with supervised strength training or a balanced diet alone for 10 weeks, then continue a maintenance plan for a year. Researchers will measure body fat, muscle mass, and overall health to see which approach works best.
