Why is it important?
Meal replacements could have improved adherence to the diet by offering a simple and healthy alternative meal option. Since Metabolic Syndrome can lead to type 2 diabetes mellitus and other age-related chronic diseases with significant public health impacts, the use of a hypocaloric diet facilitated by the use of protein-rich meal replacements together with a healthy, active lifestyle might provide an important tool in public health strategies to combat obesity and obesity-associated diseases in Mexico.
Perspectives
This is the first study conducted in Mexico that investigated the impact of partial diet replacement with protein-enriched meal in individuals with Metabolic Syndrome, although similar studies in overweight and obese adults had been conducted in other countries.
