Effect of a High-Protein Diet With Meal Replacements on Weight Loss
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
A clinical trial (NCT07547722) registered on ClinicalTrials.gov is evaluating whether a structured high-protein diet with meal replacements produces superior weight loss and improved health markers compared to a standard low-calorie diet in adults with overweight or obesity. The randomized, comparative study will measure body weight, body composition, and blood markers including glucose and cholesterol, and will involve calorie-restricted dietary interventions over the study duration.
“The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a structured high-protein diet with meal replacements can help with weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity.”
About this source
ClinicalTrials.gov is the NIH-run registry of every clinical trial conducted in the United States, plus most international trials sponsored by US-based companies or institutions. By federal law, sponsors must register Phase 2 through Phase 4 studies before enrolling patients and post results within a year of completion. This feed tracks every new trial registration and study update, around 700 a month: drug interventions, device studies, behavioral protocols, observational research. Watch this if you scout drug candidates moving into mid or late-stage development, monitor competitor pipelines, or follow rare disease research where new trials signal patient hope. GovPing parses sponsor, phase, intervention, and target indication on each entry.
What changed
A clinical trial registration has been added to ClinicalTrials.gov for a randomized study comparing structured high-protein meal replacement programs against standard low-calorie diets for weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity. The trial will assess body weight, body composition, and metabolic markers including glucose and cholesterol over the study period.
Healthcare providers and nutrition researchers involved in weight management programs may find this trial relevant for understanding the comparative effectiveness of meal replacement interventions. The registry entry does not impose compliance obligations on regulated entities.

Effect of a High-Protein Diet With Meal Replacements on Weight Loss
N/A NCT07547722 Kind: NA Apr 23, 2026
Abstract
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a structured high-protein diet with meal replacements can help with weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does this diet help participants lose more body weight? Does this diet improve body composition and blood markers such as glucose and cholesterol?
Researchers will compare a structured diet program with meal replacements to a standard low-calorie diet to see if it leads to better weight loss and health outcomes.
Participants will:
Follow a calorie-restricted diet for the duration of the study Be assigned to either a meal replacement program or a standard diet Attend study visits for body measurements and blood tests Report their feelings of hunger and fullness
Conditions: Obesity & Overweight
Interventions: Meal Replacement and Dietary Supplementation, Calorie-Restricted Diet
