Intervention(s) planned

Study population will be selected from the in and out patient referrals to the Medical Nutrition Clinic (MNC), National Hospital of Sri Lanka (NHSL) according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

After recruiting the participants, using computer generated random numbers, stratified randomization will be done to allocate them in to three age groups (18-29 years,30- 39 years,40-50 years). Block randomization will be done in each age category to allocate participants to both groups (control and intervention arms). The selected patients will be assessed by with an interviewer administered questionnaire which include basic information by the co investigator.

Patient’s waist circumference and body fat percentage will be measured. Fasting blood sugar (FBS), HbA1C, Lipid profile, ALT, TSH will be done in all patients at baseline. These investigations will be done in all patients referred to the MNC routinely.

Total calorie requirement per day= Body weight * 25 kcal/kg/day. Patients will be given a calorie restriction, i.e. less 300-500 kcal/day to loose 1/2 kg per week

One group (Group 1) will be given the choice to take the restricted calorie intake at any time during the day.

Group 2 will be advised to take the calorie restricted diet during a twelve hour period (e.g. from 6am to 6pm).

The adherence to the given diet plan and exercise regimen will be monitored with frequent telephone calls (two times per week during the initial two weeks and once in two weekly for the rest of the three months.) Patients will be reviewed monthly at the Medical Nutrition Clinic, NHSL. Weight will be documented.

Weight, BMI, fat distribution, FBS, Lipid profile, HbA1C, ALT will be repeated and documented at the end of 3 months.


Inclusion criteria

Men and women aged 18-50 years with a BMI of 25 kg/m2 – 35 kg/m2.


Exclusion criteria

  1. Patients with identified secondary cause for obesity
  2. Inability to adhere to the suggested meal plan and exercise regimen.
  3. Any underlying medical condition which can interfere with the proposed dietary plan and exercise regimen (i.e. diabetes mellitus, Cushing’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis of knees.)
  4. Patients who are on drugs which can interfere with the proposed diet (i.e prednisolone)
  5. Women who are pregnant or breast feeding
  6. Patients with diagnosed psychiatric disorder.
