Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention
Patients take part in a structured weight-loss program over 15 weeks including a fasting phase with formula diet over six weeks
Structured weight-loss program
During the fasting phase, daily consumption consists of five sachets fully replacing normal food and corresponded to an energy content of 800 kcal. This fasting phase is followed by a four-week refeeding phase, during which regular food will be reintroduced and formula diet is gradually replaced until a daily total intake of 1200 kcal is reached. During the last five weeks of the program, energy intake is gradually increased to an individual level between 1200 kcal and 1500 kcal that allowed subjects to keep their weight stable.
Once a week participants visit the study center to monitor health status and taking part in supervised exercises and a nutritional and behavioral counseling.
