The results presented are from a clinical trial conducted in compliance with all applicable ethical and institutional research requirements. The study was approved by the AdventHealth Institutional Review board (Orlando, FL, USA). All participants provided informed consent. Remuneration was done in accordance with local norms and with the approval of our Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs, Inc. (AAHRPP) Accredited IRB to ensure we provided fair compensation without inducement. There were no major changes to the methods after the trial commenced. We made two minor changes: 1) clarified the depression exclusion to provide a clear timeline for diagnosis and severity parameters warranting exclusion; 2) added an anemia exclusionary criterion out of an abundance of caution due to the multiple blood draws at the end each diet period. We recruited approximately equal numbers of males and females 18–45 years of age with a BMI ≤ 30 kg/m
