The purpose of McMurry University's study will be to determine if exercise, diet or portion control alone creates the most effective changes in weight and size. Standards for exercise within the weight loss study will include low intensity and cardiovascular training, nutritional selections, and portion-size.
All of which have proven to be most effective in previous clinical trials for weight loss. The weight loss trial will last for 90 days. During these long excruciating days in which you will be hoping to loose weight effectively regardless of their trial, you will be put through a serious of other exercises including:
- a briefing
- screening
- informed consent
- random categorization?
FYI in order to participate your body mass index must be 26 or greater. To figure out your BMI or Body Mass Index visit: National Heart and Lung Institute's BMI. And if you have any of the following medical conditions, you need not apply: cardiovascular, heart disease or diabetes mellitus patients will all be excluded.
Dr. Buck Willis and Dr. Paul Smith will discuss the categorization, safety, risks, experimental design, benefits, accountability, and security at the weight loss volunteer meetings. To RSVP leave a message on Dr. Willis' voice mail at 325-793-4993.
