Design
A clinical trial with a control group, with parallel groups, randomized on 70 patients
Settings and conduct
This study is a two-stage randomized clinical trial study that will be performed on adult women (20-50 years) with metabolic syndrome. The "invitation to participate in the research project" will be used in the Nutrition Clinic of Shariati Hospital, Tehran to reach the mentioned people. People will be randomly placed in a double block in terms of age and body mass index. The control group will be on a normal weight loss diet for 3 months, and the intervention group will be on a diet with moderate carbohydrate intake for 3 months.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
First, subjects will be placed in double blocks in terms of age and body mass index. Then, randomly assigned individuals in each block will be assigned to intervention and control groups. To randomly assign individuals to groups, each person is assigned a code, and these codes are poured into a pot. An out-of-study person is then asked to draw the codes out of the pot using a lottery. The first code will be assigned to the intervention group, the second code to the control group, and so the rest of the people will be randomly assigned to the two groups.
