      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The participants were randomly divided into two groups: a standard calorie-restricted diet and a calorie-restricted low-carbohydrate diet. A block randomization scheme is used for randomization. The randomization process as mentioned above was done online and by the sealedenvelope website at the address (https://www.sealedenvelope.com/simple-randomiser/v1/lists) and then the output of its production sequence was received in the form of an Excel file. The closed envelope method will be used to perform randomization; For this purpose, 60 envelopes are numbered from 1 to 60 and then according to the random sequence, they are written on papers and sealed inside the envelope according to the received regime. The participants were given an envelope by the relevant nutritionist in the order that they enter the study, and based on the diet in the envelope, they are divided into one of two study groups, i.e., a low-carb diet with limited calories or a standard diet with limited calories, Blinding description: Anthropometric evaluations as well as measurement of biochemical factors in the participants' blood samples will be performed by persons who are not aware of each participant's group, and so-called blinding is done in the case of biochemical evaluations and anthropometry.</study_design>
