Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
High calorie, high fat feeding for 7 days in healthy people. This will include 50% higher energy intake than usual with energy 30% from CHO, 50% from fat and 20% from Protein. The participants will be required to consume their usual diet plus the snacks provided by the investigatory team (including biscuits, chocolate bars, yoghurt and use of coconut oil). The dietary intervention will be overseen by the team dietitian. The participants will be required to record the snacks consumed each day on a checklist provided. The participants will also need to provide one day food diary before the pre and post fasting tests.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Based on the data of insulin responses from the first 3 participants , to detect an increase in the insulin area under the time curve from 2510.7uU/ml*2 hours with a standard deviation of 717.9 to 3217.9uU/ml*2 hours with a standard deviation of 1068.3, 16 participants are needed with an alpha of 0.05 and a power of 80%. We will recruit 20 people to allow for a 15-20% drop-out rate.

Student paired t-test will be used to compare endpoint measurements pre- and post-intervention. Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA followed by a suitable post hoc test will be used for all continuous variables. Significance will be set at P < 0.05.

Summary
Brief summary
Previous studies have shown that short term (3-7days) overfeeding and overfeeding with high fat (with predominantly saturated fat) can lead to increased fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance as well as impaired insulin sensitivity in humans. But it is not known if the impaired glucose tolerance induced by short term high fat overfeeding is linked to impaired microvascular blood flow in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. This is what we aim to test in this study. We hypothesise that 7 days of overfeeding will impair skeletal muscle and adipose microvascular blood flow and contribute to glucose tolerance.
