Tuesday, December 03, 2002The researchers studied 13 subjects, male and female, who ranged in age from 43 to 84. As with all this team's studies, subjects were provided with pre-measured quantities of foods and were told what to eat and when. A typical breakfast might include soy milk, oat bran cereal topped with chopped fruit and almonds and oatmeal bread with vegetable margarine and jam. Lunch might be soy cold cuts, oat bran bread, bean soup and fruit. Dinner might be stir-fried vegetables with tofu, fruit and almonds. Some of the participants took to the diet "like ducks into water," Jenkins said. Others found it bland and restrictive. All found the diet excessively filling and had a hard time maintaining their starting body weight. posted by Sydney on 12/03/2002 08:25:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
