The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a low carbohydrate diet on
increasing dietary adherence and improving cardiometabolic risk factors among adults with
spinal cord injury (SCI). Seventy overweight/obese adults with SCI will be randomized to one
of two groups: 1) a reduced carbohydrate diet or 2): a "standard" diet (STD). Participants
will take part in a 6-month behavioral lifestyle intervention implemented through a novel
eHealth platform specially designed for individuals with SCI.
