NCT ID NCT07423884
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether a low-calorie diet rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) from traditional Minangkabau foods can improve metabolic health in 40 obese adults. Participants will follow a diet based on coconut milk dishes for a period, and researchers will measure changes in weight, blood sugar, cholesterol, and other markers. The goal is to see if this diet can shift people from unhealthy obesity to a healthier metabolic state.

What this could lead to
