Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Treatment Sequence AB

Participants randomized to sequence AB will receive 3 months of meals, followed by a 3 month washout period and a 3 month intervention period with no meals.

Dietary Supplement: Medically tailored meals
10 meals per week for 3 months

Experimental: Treatment Sequence BA

Participants randomized to sequence BA will receive 3 months of no meals followed by a 3 month washout period and a 3 month intervention period with meals.

Dietary Supplement: Medically tailored meals
10 meals per week for 3 months

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in Glucose Metabolism [Baseline, 3 monts]

    Measured by HbA1c levels in standard chemistry in blood

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in Weight [Baseline, 3 months]

    Measured in killograms

  2. Change in Blood Pressure [Baseline, 3 months]

    Measured in units of millimeters of mercury (mmHg)

  3. Change in High Density lipoprotein (HDL) [Baseline, 3 months]

    HDL cholesterol levels measured by standard chemistry in blood reported in units of milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)

  4. Change in Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) [Baseline, 3 months]

    LDL cholesterol levels measured by standard chemistry in blood reported in units of milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)

  5. Change in Triglycerides [Baseline, 3 months]

    Triglyceride levels measured by standard chemistry in blood reported in units of milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)
