If you are between the ages of 18 and 64, you may be interesting in participating in a nutrition and diet study conducted by the University of Virginia. The study will be comparing two different diets. Each phase lasts for 4 weeks with a 4-8 week break. All food is provided for the 4 week diet and compensation is $300.
This study also provides the participant with other pertinent information such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood fats.
Centerwatch is a great place to find other diet and nutrition studies that are being done in other states. It also covers studies being administered in many other fields.
There are several other sites which provide information on clinical studies. I have them listed in a previous post.

I am looking to participat in a weight loss study.
I have tried all kinds of diets and still continue to gain weight. It is not my food intake.
I’m a 46 year old mother of two son’s, 22year old and a 27 year old. I’m also a grandmother of a beautiful 5 year old girl. Please help me with my weight problem for I am indeed over weight, around 75 pounds to be exact.
Monica,
All I can do is make suggestions to you. I would first go to my doctor and see what he recommends for you. We are each at a different level as far as our ability to workout. You can also go to the website I’ve mentioned and check to see if there are any weight loss programs starting up that need volunteers. If you find one that meets your needs, click on it and fill out the application. They will let you know if you meet their criteria.
Take your grandaughter for a walk in the park. It will be beneficial to you both. It’s a great start to a healthier life. Wishing you the best and keeping you in my prayers.
Please check back with me and let me know how things are going for you.
