Active Nutrition Program on Weight Loss

Impact of Active Nutrition Program on Weight Loss and Associated Measures of Health in Overweight and Obese Men and Women

The study will evaluate the impact of the Active Nutrition 60-day program from USANA on weight loss and related measures, such as body composition, physical appearance/body shape, perceived wellness, and biochemical markers of health (e.g., blood lipids, glucose, insulin).

To date, no controlled study exists to evaluate the impact of the Active Nutrition program from USANA on weight loss and related measures, such as body composition, physical appearance/body shape, perceived wellness, and biochemical markers of health (e.g., blood lipids, glucose, insulin). Therefore, the purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the Active Nutrition weight loss program on body weight and related variables in a sample of overweight and obese men and women. Subjects in the Active Nutrition group will be compared to a control group of men and women following their standard diet, for a period of 60 days.
