Participants will be asked to replace all their meals, snacks and drinks with those provided by the study team for four weeks (6 days/week). Participants will also be asked to attend the research facility on three occasions to: * Provide a blood sample * Provide a urine sample * Provide a stool sample * Have their body composition assessed * Have an ultrasound of their artery (arm) * Have their blood pressure measured * Answer questionnaires related to dietary intake, mental health, physical activity, quality of life, diet acceptability and adherence
