Feasibility Study: Plant Based Diet to Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
In this feasibility study, our primary goal is to assess the practicality of implementing a plant-based food diet intervention for individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The intervention consists of three key components: 1) Educational materials (videos), 2) Participation in a cooking workshop introducing plant-based meals, complete with recipes, and 3) Daily delivery of plant-based dinner meals over a four-week period. This comprehensive investigation covers the testing of recruitment procedures, randomization, intervention elements, outcome assessments, and participant retention.

Adopting a daily plant-based diet involves introducing several new plant-based foods and making adjustments to the existing diets of patients with RA. Consequently, the feasibility study will also aim to explore the acceptability of the intervention and whether a full-scale RCT is practically possible.
