Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Body weight change calculated as the difference (in kilograms) between measured weight at baseline and approximately 12 weeks after the intervention	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Body weight change calculated as the difference (in kilograms) between measured weight at baseline and approximately 9 months after enrollment 2. Body composition (body fat, fat-free mass, muscle mass) measured using a bioelectrical impedance analyzer (TANITA DC-360) at baseline, 3 months, and 9 months 3. Waist circumference measured using a non-extensible measuring tape at baseline, 3 months, and 9 months 4. Blood pressure measured using an automated sphygmomanometer at baseline, 3 months, and 9 months 5.
