      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: In this study, participants were classified into two groups with normal (18.5-24.9) and overweight (24.9-29.9) by stratified blocked randomization method and based on BMI and randomly assigned to One of the groups caffeine consumption or placebo consumption group. Separate randomization is done based on BMI within each group. The size of the blocks is 4, with two assignments to the intervention group (A) and two allocations to the control group (B). There are 6 different permutations of AABB, ABAB, BBAA, BABA, ABBA, BAAB, Blinding description: Patients won’t know if they are receiving the caffeine or a placebo for double-blinding the study, the bottles containing the relevant soft gels will be concealed as A and B by a third person at the beginning of the study, and none of the research team members will know the type of soft gels received by each group.</study_design>
