This study is looking at how the order of eating different diets affects body fat. Researchers want to see if starting with a low-carbohydrate diet (15% protein, 75% fat, 10% carbohydrate) or a low-fat diet (15% protein, 10% fat, 75% carbohydrate) first makes a difference in fat loss. You would follow one diet for 4 weeks, then switch to the other for another 4 weeks. The main goal is to measure changes in your total body fat mass after 8 weeks. This study is for adults aged 18 to 50 who are overweight or have obesity (Body Mass Index or BMI of 25 or higher). The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 42 participants.
