The 2EAT trial is testing whether a six-month dietary counseling program can help adults over 55 with obesity lose weight by eating more protein while reducing overall calories. You would be randomly assigned to follow either a plant-based high-protein diet or an animal-based high-protein diet. Researchers will track your weight loss, muscle mass, and overall health throughout the program.
As we age, we tend to lose muscle mass and may gain weight, which increases health risks. This trial is designed to see whether eating more protein—and whether the source of that protein matters—can help older adults lose weight while preserving muscle during weight loss.

Over six months, you will attend four one-on-one dietary counseling sessions with a nutritionist and five group meetings with other participants. You'll receive a workbook and recipe book to help guide your eating choices. Three times during the study, you'll be asked to recall everything you ate over a 24-hour period. At the start, three months, and six months, researchers will measure your weight, muscle mass, and take blood samples to check your health.
