Patients with overweight or obesity will be recrutied to this open-label, randomized clinical trial. All participants will be informed about the starch- and sucrosereduced diet (SSRD). The diet will be continued for 3 months, with a physical visit with completion of study questionnaires, blood and feces sampling and measurements of anthropometry at baseline, after 6 weeks and 3 months. Thereafter, participants are free to eat whatever they want, but will be examined again after 1 year. Participants will be randomized to whether participants should be informed or not about the metabolic profile measured at week 6. Participants who are randomized to get information about the metabolic profile, will be called when the blood samples have been analysed, and informed about the changes in metabolic and nutrient results between baseline and 6 weeks. The investigators will then evaluate whether participants who were randomized to get information about their blood samples after 6 weeks, will have better compliance to the diet, and thereby have better effect on weight reduction and metabolic profiles. At the blood sampling after 3 months, all participants will be informed about their metabolic profiles. It is also of interest to study the effect at follow-up after 1 year, to see whether participants who were informed at 6 weeks differ from participants who were not.
