Measure
Control-group (CG)
Standard weight-loss diet (15E%/day protein) for the 10 weeks they attend the camp and increased follow-up. Increased follow-up contact after attending a weight loss camp: After leaving the camp, the children and their families with increased follow-up contact will be contacted once every month within the first 6 month and once every other month until 52-weeks follow-up (8 times total). The children and their families will be contacted by phone, facetime or skype as they prefer, within a predetermined and known timeframe. The conversation will focus on individual topics chosen by the child/parent.
Intervention Group (IG)
A higher protein diet (25E%/day) for the 10 weeks they attend the camp and increased follow-up. Increased follow-up contact after attending a weight loss camp: After leaving the camp, the children and their families with increased follow-up contact will be contacted once every month within the first 6 month and once every other month until 52-weeks follow-up (8 times total). The children and their families will be contacted by phone, facetime or skype as they prefer, within a predetermined and known timeframe. The conversation will focus on individual topics chosen by the child/parent.
SARS CoV-group
Standard weight-loss diet (15E% of protein) during the camp. However, they were sent home for five weeks due to a COVID19 lockdown.

Measure
Control-group
n=75 Participants
In the control group, no changes were. This group received a standard care lifestyle camp for 10-weeks.
Intervention-group
n=86 Participants
In the intervention group, the aim was to replace carbohydrates-rich foods at breakfast and two in-between meals with naturally protein-containing foods (e.g., dairy products, nuts, egg, meat-products) to increase the amount of protein from \~ 10-15E% to \~ 25E% per day with minimal changes in total caloric intake.
SARS CoV-group
n=34 Participants
The SARS CoV-group were affected by the COVID-19 lockdown of the camps.Thus, they were sent home for five weeks with no control of dietary intake and physical activity. They received standard care during their stay at camp.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Mean changes from baseline to 10-weeks (post camp intervention)

Population: The COVID-19 pandemic forced a lockdown from December 2020 to February 2021. All children affected by the COVID-19 lockdown (The SARS CoV-group) were sent home for five weeks with no control of dietary intake and physical. Only a subsample of participants had bloodsamples collected.

Educated bio-analysts were responsible for collecting blood samples in a subsample of children.
