Nine obese patients weighing 20% or more above the desired body weight with ages ranging from 38 to 73 years participated in a study in which they were given Meal Exchange for 1 to 8 months. Meal Exchange is a high-fiber (14.68 gm/2 tbsp) food product composed of nuts, nonfat milk, whole grains, and lactase. Total weight loss and cholesterol levels were recorded. There was significant weight loss and drop in blood cholesterol levels.
