Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the efficacy of a Mediterranean diet based on local Indonesian foods on alterations in gut microbiota, body composition, and metabolic biomarkers in obese subjects. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Dose Mediterranean diet modification based on local food ingredients can result in greater weight loss, greater reductions in inflammatory markers, improve gut microbiota diversity compared to a balanced low-calorie diet in obese patients?
Researchers will compare Mediterranean diet modification based on local food to low calorie diet.
Participant will:
- Participants received a low-calorie diet of approximately 1.500 kcal/day according to their randomized group assignments, consisting of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Both groups will receive dietary education and physical activity guidance tailored to their weight loss needs.
- Participants were instructed to complete a food intake record and report their consumption to the researchers using intake forms and photographs of the food packaging. Weekly meetings were held via Zoom to evaluate dietary compliance.
- Blood samples and fecal specimens were collected at baseline (week 0) and at week 4 of the study.

Arms & Interventions
Low calorie diet
In the control group, Participants received a low calorie diet providing approximately 1,500 kcal/day, the diet provided 50-54% carbohydrates, 25-30% fat (SFA < 12%, MUFA 8-12%, PUFA 5-8%), and 19-20% protein.
Intervention: Locally Adapted Mediterranean Diet (Other)
Locally Adapted Mediterranean Diet
In the interventional group, participants received a locally adapted Mediterranean diet providing approximately 1,500 kcal/day, with a macronutrient distribution of 50% carbohydrates, 30-34% fat (saturated fatty acids ≤ 8%, monounsaturated fatty acids 15-20%, polyunsaturated fatty acids 5-10%), and 17-20% protein.
Intervention: Low calorie diet (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The implementation of a locally adapted Mediterranean has the potential to improve anthropometric outcomes profiles in obese.
Time Frame: The data were collected at baseline (week 0) and at week 4 of the study.
Title of the research is The Mediterranean Diet Based on Local Foods for Obese Patients: A Study of Anthropometric Parameters, Inflammatory Markers, and Gut Microbiota. Based on PRS review of each outcome the findings are described as follows: Anthropometric outcomes (ratio data scale): 1. Body mass index (BMI) will be calculated from weight (kilograms) and height (meters). Divide weight in kilograms (kilograms) by height in meters squared (meters²) expressed as kg/m². 2. Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is calculated by dividing waist circumference (centimeters) by hip circumference (centimeters) and expressed as cm. (WHR = Waist / Hip)
Secondary Outcomes
- To determine the characteristics of the research subjects based on age.(The data were collected at baseline (week 0))
- To determine the characteristics of the research subjects based on underlying disease.(The data were collected at baseline (week 0))
- To determine the characteristics of the research subjects based on nutritional status.(The data were collected at baseline (week 0))
- To determine the characteristics of the research subjects based on body composition.(The data were collected at baseline (week 0)])
- To determine the characteristics of the research subjects based on intake patterns.(The data were collected at baseline (week 0))
- To determine the characteristics of the research subjects based on physical activity.(The data were collected at baseline (week 0))
- To determine the energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake of research subjects before and after diet administration.(the data were collected at baseline (week 0) and at week 4 of the study.)
- To determine the differences in the mean anthropometry of the research subjects in each group.(The data were collected at baseline (week 0) and at week 4 of the study.)
- To determine the differences the mean in nutritional status of the research subjects in each group.(The data were collected at baseline (week 0) and at week 4 of the study.)
- To determine the differences in the mean body composition of the research subjects in each group.(The data were collected at baseline (week 0) and at week 4 of the study.)
- To determine changes and mean in IL-6 levels in research subjects before and after diet administration.(the data were collected at baseline (week 0) and at week 4 of the study.)
- To determine changes and mean in I-FABP levels in research subjects before and after diet administration.(the data were collected at baseline (week 0) and at week 4 of the study.)
- To determine changes and mean in TyG index levels in research subjects before and after diet administration.(the data were collected at baseline (week 0) and at week 4 of the study.)
- To determine the effect of a locally adapted Mediterranean diet (intervention) and low calorie diet (control) on improving gut microbiota diversity in obese patients.(the data were collected at baseline (week 0) and at week 4 of the study.)
- To determine the effect of a locally adapted Mediterranean diet (intervention) and low calorie diet (control) on improving metabolomic profile in obese patients.(the data were collected at baseline (week 0) and at week 4 of the study.)
