Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
Success in weight management is challenging. Even after successful weight loss, weight regain is very common. Therefore it is important to identify factors that affect self-regulation of food intake and other behaviors related to weight management. The study aims to find out such factors associated with weight management, especially whether the satiety value of food as a part of a weight-maintenance diet would affect self-regulation of food intake and weight management.
Who can participate?
Obese men and women, aged 30-65 years, will be recruited into the study.
What does the study involve?
The study consists of weight-loss and weight-maintenance periods. During the weight-loss period, all participants receive a very low calorie diet for 8 weeks. During the 24-week weight maintenance period, subjects are randomly allocated to two groups to consume as part of their weight-management diet foods with either higher or lower satiety values.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The possible and expected benefit of participating in the study is weight loss along with its well-known beneficial effects on health and wellbeing. The risk of participating in the study is the possible disappointment to the participant if the weight loss is not as great as they have expected or in the case of possible weight re-gain.
Where is the study run from?
Institute of Public Health and Clinical Nutrition, University of Kuopio (currently University of Eastern Finland), Kuopio, Finland.
When is study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
The study started in May 2008 and ended in February 2010.
Who is funding the study?
Institute of Public Health and Clinical Nutrition, University of Eastern Finland, Finland.

| Scientific title | Foods for weight management: a randomized controlled trial |
| Study acronym | ELIPA |
| Study objectives | It is hypothesized that foods with higher predetermined satiety values, when ingested as a part of a weight-maintenance diet, contribute to better self-regulation of food intake and reduced body weight. |
| Ethics approval(s) | The Ethics Committee of the District Hospital Region of Northern Savo and the Kuopio University Hospital; Ref: 46/2008 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Obesity |
| Intervention | Participants are randomized to two groups: high-satiety and low-satiety food groups All participants will receive a very low calorie diet for 8 weeks. The weight maintenance period is 24 weeks. Follow-up visit at 8-9 months after the end of the weight maintenance period, about which the participants had not been informed beforehand. This visit was added afterwards into the original study plan. |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
1. Body weight measured by a digital scale at baseline, 8, 12, 24 weeks and at follow-up. |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
1. Anthropometry and body composition: height measured using a wall-mounted stadiometer at screening; waist circumference using a calibrated tape measured at baseline, 8, 12 and 24 weeks; body composition using fat mass and fat-free mass by bioelectrical impedance measured at baseline, 8, 12 and 24 weeks |
