Summary
Brief summary
This study is looking at overweight patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), to compare the effects of a modified fat diet with a reduced glycaemic load (diet 1); and a conventional low fat, high carbohydrate diet (diet 2) on: * insulin sensitivity (using the homeostasis model assessment \[HOMA\] model) * lipid profile * symptomatic status (6 minute walk distance and Heart Failure Quality of Life \[HF QOL\] Questionnaire) * body weight * inflammatory mediators (tumor necrosis factor \[TNF\] alpha, C-reactive protein \[CRP\], interleukin-6 \[IL-6\]) The hypotheses of this study are: * Diet 1 will be associated with lower insulin resistance than diet 2. * The lipid profile will be better in CHF patients on diet 1 than on diet 2. * Patients on diet 1 will have a better symptomatic status than patients on diet 2. * Diet 1 will maintain body weight in patients with CHF as well as diet 2. * Diet 1 will suppress the expression of TNF-alpha, CRP and IL-6 more than diet 2.
