Dietary Recommendations Clinical Trial
Official title:
Dietary Recommendations for Reducing Free Sugar Intakes
This randomised controlled trial aims to assess the impacts of the current recommendations by Public Health England for reducing free sugar intakes, on total energy intakes of free sugar in a sample of the UK population.
The primary objective of this randomised control trial is to assess the impacts of Public Health England's (PHE) current free sugar reducing advice, for reducing total energy intakes (TEI) of free sugar. A total of 240 participants (age 18-65years) consuming diets >5% total energy intake from dietary free sugars will be recruited from across the Dorset region. Participants to be randomly assigned into the following recommendation interventions groups: 1) Reduce free sugar intake to <5% TEI (nutrient-based recommendations); 2) Reduce free sugar intake to <5% TEI, via reducing intake of specific foods identified as high in free sugars (nutrient- + food-based recommendations); 3) Reduce free sugar intake to <5% TEI, via reducing intake of specific foods identified as high in free sugars and replace/swap with low sugar versions (nutrient- + food-based recommendations with swaps); and 4) Control Group. The primary outcome will be changes in free sugar consumption from baseline to endpoint at week 12. Secondary outcomes include change in: BMI; dietary profiles; sweetness preference; sweetness liking; food choices; low calorie sweetener intakes and adherence levels. ;
