Method of measurement: Measurement of height and weight without shoes and with minimum clothes on, by Seca stadiometer and scale, respectively. Measurement of waist and hip circumferences by a tape measure. Calculation of waist to hip ratio (WHR) by dividing waist circumference by hip circumference, and body mass index (BMI) by dividing weight (Kg) by height squared (m2).;Body composition. Timepoint: Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to determine Fat mass (FM), Fat free mass (FFM), and Body water (BW).;Resting metabolic rate. Timepoint: Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Indirect calorimetry.;Gut permeability. Timepoint: Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Measurement of Serum Zonulin by ELISA method.;Endotoxemia. Timepoint: Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Measurement of serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by ELISA.;Blood pressure. Timepoint: Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: stethoscope.;Blood glucose. Timepoint: Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Enzymatic method.;Lipid profile. Timepoint: Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Measurement of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride through enzymatic methods and calculation of LDL-cholesterol by Friedewald equation.;Inflammatory indices. Timepoint: Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Measurement of serum hs-CRP by immunoturbidimetry, and serum TNF-a and IL-10 by ELISA.;State-trait anxiety.
