Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	weight loss	total body weight	at 30 days post-intervention
Primary	weight loss	total body weight	at 60 days post-intervention
Primary	weight loss	total body weight	at 90 days post-intervention
Primary	fat mass	% fat mass will be estimated by bioimpedence	at 30 days post-intervention
Primary	fat mass	% fat mass will be estimated by bioimpedence	at 60 days post-intervention
Primary	fat mass	% fat mass will be estimated by bioimpedence	at 90 days post-intervention
Primary	AT-EOS content	subcutaneous fat biopsy will be processed to extract stromal vascular fraction (SVF) which will contain eosinophils. The SVF will be run trough flow cytometry to get an estimated count to be reported as a ratio over the total number of cells	at baseline

Secondary	insulin sensitivity	mixed meal test	at baseline and 90 days post-intervention
Secondary	inflammation	Plasma will be isolated during fasting condition. MCP-1, TNFa, IL-4, IL-13, Leptin, adiponectin will be assessed via Multiplex ELISA	at 30 days post-intervention
Secondary	inflammation	Plasma will be isolated during fasting condition. MCP-1, TNFa, IL-4, IL-13, Leptin, adiponectin will be assessed via Multiplex ELISA	at 60 days post-intervention
Secondary	inflammation	Plasma will be isolated during fasting condition. MCP-1, TNFa, IL-4, IL-13, Leptin, adiponectin will be assessed via Multiplex ELISA	at 90 days post-intervention
Secondary	adipose tissue inflammation	subcutaneous fat biopsy will be processed to obtain mRNA. mRNA levels for MCP-1, TNFa, IL-4, IL-13, Leptin, adiponectin gene will be assessed via qPCR	at baseline
