Total energy expenditure (TEE) of every participant enrolled into the study would be calculated at the start of the study and an exercise and diet plan with a calorie deficit of around 1000 kcal per week would be provided to the participant. The diet and exercise plan would be modified according to the new TEE of the participant. MyNetDiary app has built-in food and exercise activities with their respective calories' count. Moreover, customized foods and exercises can also be added into the application

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Weight It is the estimation of weight without wearing extra things by the individual. Excess or reduced weight is viewed as a sign of deciding an individual's health, with body volume estimation giving an additional aspect by calculating the distribution of body weight. A weight machine is usually used for this purpose. Weight machine is a gadget used to measure weight or mass, which is also called weight scale and weight balance system. The conventional scale comprises of two plates suspended at equal distances from a fulcrum. However, in this study, a digital weight machine will be used. The hardware comprises of a load cell or a weighing scale. The load cell calculates the person's weight and turns the mechanical force into electrical signals that can be easily obtained after microcontroller processing. Excess or reduced weight is viewed as a sign of deciding an individual's health, with body volume estimation giving an additional aspect by calculating the distribution of body 3 months
Primary BMI BMI stands for Body Mass Index. Mathematically it is calculated as, an individual's weight in kilograms (or pounds) divided by the square of level in meters (or feet). The categories of BMI are as follows: < 18.5 as underweight, 18.5 < 25 as normal weight, BMI 25 < 30 as overweight, BMI 30 < 35 as low obesity, BMI 35 < 40 as medium obesity and BMI = 40 as extreme obesity 3 months
Secondary MyNetDairy App The app usage data will be collected from the phone with the help of phone's app usage record and daily usage of app, its exercise log and diet log would be recorded to maintain app usage data. 3 months
Secondary Level of physical activity The physical activity level is a method for communicating an individual's day to day activity as a number and is utilized to gauge an individual's energy consumption 3 months
Secondary Exercise adherence Exercise adherence is a term used to define how well a patient or client is following their home exercise program or gym program and the suggestions made to them by their health expert or fitness coach. This would be recorded with the help of daily exercise and diet log by using diary or app usage. 3 months
Secondary Blood Pressure Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries. Each time heart beats, it siphons blood into the supply routes. Blood pressure is highest when heart beats, pumping the blood. This is called systolic pressure. At the point when heart is very still, between beats, blood pressure falls. This is called diastolic pressure. Sphygmomanometer is used to measure blood pressure. It typically consists of an inflatable rubber cuff which is applied to the arm and connected to a column of mercury next to a graduated scale, enabling the determination of systolic and diastolic blood pressure by increasing and gradually releasing the pressure in the cuff. Normal blood pressure is considered as 120/80 mmHg as systolic/diastolic pressure. 3 months
Secondary VO2 max It is the highest rate of oxygen consumption attainable during maximal exercise 3 months
