Individuals with intellectual developmental disabilities (IDD) have obesity rates that
exceed those in the general population, consume energy dense diets, and perform very little
physical activity (PA). Overweight and obesity are independent risk factors for chronic
disease such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease in both the
general population and those with IDD.
The investigators modified the Stop Light Diet (SLDm) to include reduced energy pre-packaged
meals (PM) for 6 months, encouraged consumption of low energy shakes and 35 fruits and
vegetables (F/V) per week. The investigators will compare participants who use the SLDm with
participants who use a reduced energy and fat diet with meal plans, based off of the current
American Dietetic Association recommended car for weight reduction plan.
