Male and female healthy volunteers 18 years of age or older may participate in this study. They should desire at least 30 pounds of weight loss. Specifically, the current weight should be at least 30 pounds heavier than the leanest adult weight. They must have had no serious illness or hospitalizations within the last six months prior to study start. Volunteer candidates taking medication for diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, cancer, depression, or heart disease are excluded from study eligibility.

Study participants are asked to fill out a confidential Health Questionnaire at the beginning of the study to be mailed with Informed Consent and Nutrition Survey. All three forms are to be mailed in a self-addressed stamped envelope. Volunteer candidates will be notified if they qualify by phone and/or email. Participants accepted into the study will be asked to read Dr. Owen’s book, The Amino Solution, provided in the study materials. Learning nutrition strategies is an element of this study. The Nutrition Survey will also be performed prior to and after completion of the study to submit in a self addressed stamped envelope with the Calendar Worksheet page.

A sub-study will be performed to evaluate glucose (blood sugar) and triglyceride (blood fat) levels at study beginning and end. Fasting and two hour blood levels after pizza will be tested on two consecutive days at study beginning and end (4 blood tests total). All tests are provided at no cost. Volunteers for the blood study will be awarded a free Access* Health contract (worth $380), see below. The sub-study is limited to 40 persons.

Contact information will be provided for the PrescriptFit™ Registered Dietician (aandry@drdiet.com), study coordinator (rowen@drdiet.com), or Dr. Owen (drowenmd@drdiet.com) for questions or support.
