Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effect of a low-carbohydrate diet and a balanced diet. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a 4-week diet intervention improve anthropometric and cardiovascular parameters? * What diet is more effective in promoting weight loss and improving cardiovascular parameters? Researchers will compare a low-carbohydrate diet and a balanced diet with control group. Participants will: * Take the intervention diet or control diet for 4 weeks * will submit food records three times a week * Visit the study location 2 times for check up and test

Detailed description

In this study, will some questions be recorded in the questioner about sociodemographics and lifestyle habits, and body weight and height will be measured. After that, a 1-tablespoon (5 mL) fasting blood sample be collected 2 times during the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) after 4 weeksbaseline and 4 weeksBody mass index (BMI) will be calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters (kg/m²). Body weight will be measured using a Seca 876 scale (Hamburg, Germany) with an accuracy of 0.1 kg, and height will be measured using a Seca 213 stadiometer (Hamburg, Germany) with an accuracy of 0.1 cm. Measurements will be performed at baseline and at the end of the intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from baseline in the mean seated through cuff Systolic pressure at 4 weeksBaseline and 4 weeksSystolic blood pressure will be measured in mmHg using an automated upper-arm blood pressure monitor (Omron HEM7120). Measurements will be taken in the seated position after a resting period and recorded at baseline \& week 4.weeks
Change from baseline in the mean seated Diastolic pressure at 4 weeksBaseline & 4 weeksDiastolic blood pressure will be measured in mmHg using an automated upper-arm blood pressure monitor (Omron HEM7120). Measurements will be taken in the seated position after a resting period and recorded at baseline and week 4. weeks
Change from baseline in Serum Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) concentration at 4 weeksBaseline and week 4.Venous blood samples will be collected from participants after an overnight fast using serum separator tubes. Serum apolipoprotein B (ApoB) concentration will be measured using an automated immunoturbidimetric assay (Tina-quant® Apolipoprotein B ver.2, Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) on a cobas® analyzer. Results will be reported in mg/dL, and measurements will be performed at baseline and week 4.
Change from baseline in serum High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) concentration at 4 weeksBaseline and 4 weeksVenous blood samples will be collected from participants after an overnight fast using serum separator tubes. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) concentration will be measured using a particle-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay (Cardiac CRP High Sensitive, Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) on a cobas® analyzer. Results will be reported in mg/L, and measurements will be performed at baseline and week 4.
