- Sedentary lifestyle, defined as engaging in less than 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week.
- Willingness to provide informed consent and comply with study procedures.
Exclusion criteria
- • Subjects diagnosed with DM (HbA1c more than 6.5%).
- History of metabolic disorders such as type 1 diabetes or thyroid disorders.
- Subjects with BMI less than 30 kg/m2.
- Subjects diagnosed with heart disease, liver as well as kidney diseases.
- Subjects who take oral contraceptives.
- Subjects with gestational Diabetes.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women were excluded from the study.
- Use of weight-loss medications or supplements within the past six months.
