Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of lifestyle modification in overweight and obese subjects with metabolic syndrome. A total of 120 male and female subjects of age between 20 and 70 years will be included in the study.  Assessment of inclusion and exclusion criteria will be done based on clinical and laboratory investigations. The eligible subjects will be randomized as per the computer-generated randomization list. The subjects will be assigned to either TAU or TAU+ exercise, or TAU + controlled diet, or TAU + both exercise & controlled diet at a 1:1:1:1 ratio.  The participants will be instructed to take treatment as usual for 12 weeks with the selected lifestyle modifications (diet, exercise, or both), which are limited to specific groups. Apart from primary and secondary outcomes, the study will also record vital signs and adverse events to evaluate the safety. The safety assessment will also include routine laboratory investigations on blood, urine and clinical chemistry at screening and the final visit of the intervention.
