The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a genetic score (Gens-HiPro) acts as a response modifier for weight loss, body composition changes, and biochemical parameters in obese adults undergoing a low-energy high-protein diet intervention.
The main questions it aims to answer is:
Does the genetic score (Gens-HiPro) modify responses to changes in weight, body composition, and biochemical parameters following a 12-week low-energy high-protein diet?
Participants will:
* Undergo initial screening to determine eligibility based on inclusion and exclusion criteria
* Complete baseline data measurement, including demographic data, anthropometric measurements (weight, BMI, body composition), biochemical blood analysis (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, CRP), dietary assessment.
* Attend a small-group educational session on general guidelines, portion control, plate model ("Isi Piringku"), and food weighing techniques for a low-energy high-protein diet.
* Receive a 60-90 minute nutritional counseling session led by a dietitian at the start of intervention
* Follow the prescribed 12-week low-energy high-protein diet, supported by an active messaging channel on weekdays for daily dietary consultations
* Participate in at least three in-person monitoring and evaluation visits scheduled every 3-4 weeks (at weeks 4, 8, and 12 or weeks 4, 7, 10 and 12)
* Complete post-intervention evaluations at the end of week 12, repeating all baseline anthropometric, biochemical, and dietary assessments.
