      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Block randomization is performed in order to balance the number of samples assigned to each of the study groups. Web randomization (https://www.sealedenvelope.com) is used for this purpose. The number and characteristics of the participants are entered in the desired position and the individuals are randomly assigned to one of the two intervention and placebo groups, Blinding description: In this study, participants, researchers, and clinical caregivers were unaware that each participant in the study was in the main intervention group (receiving a probiotic supplement) or a placebo (without a probiotic). Supplements and placebos are packaged exactly the same and separated by code. Therefore, people cannot identify which group they belong to.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Receive a weight loss diet and probiotic supplement for 12 weeks, A weight loss diet (500 kcal less than the daily requirement and the composition of the prescribed diet was 55% carbohydrate, 30% fat and 15%protein) is prescribed for the patient and a probiotic supplement manufactured by the TAKGENE pharmaceutical company (Contains Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium langum, 10 to 8 or 9 cfu per capsule) twice per day is prescribed for 12 weeks. Intervention 2: Control group: Receive weight loss diet and placebo for 12 weeks, The usual weight loss diet (500 kcal less than the daily requirement and the composition of the prescribed diet was 55% carbohydrate, 30% fat and 15%protein) is prescribed for the patient and the placebo (containing maltodextrine and magnesium stearate) is prescribed in the same size and shape as supplements made by TAKGENE Pharmaceutical Company, twice per day for 12 weeks.</i_freetext>
