Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in weightBaseline, 12 weeks

Reported in kilograms (kg)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in fasting glucoseBaseline, 12 weeks

Glucose (sugar) measured in the blood and reported in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).

Change in Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterolBaseline, 12 weeks

LDL (bad) cholesterol measured in the blood and reported in milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL)

Change in TriglyceridesBaseline, 12 weeks

Triglycerides levels measured in the blood and reported in milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL)

Change in Hemoglobin A1cBaseline, 12 weeks

Hemoglobin is a protein within red blood cells. As glucose enters the bloodstream, it binds to hemoglobin, or glycates. The more glucose that enters the bloodstream, the higher the amount of glycated hemoglobin. An A1C level below 5.7 percent is considered normal. Reported as percentage of glycated hemoglobin

Change in total cholesterolBaseline, 12 weeks

Blood sample taken to measure the sum of blood's cholesterol content and reported in milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL)

Change in High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterolBaseline, 12 weeks

HDL (good) cholesterol measured in the blood and reported in milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL)
