A total of 93 males and females will participate in the study at the University of Toronto. At the beginning and after 12 weeks, body weight, composition will be measured through Bodpod scans. Resting metabolic rate and thermogenesis will be measured by indirect calorimetry. Also, fecal samples will be collected for gut microbiome profiling along with blood for glucose, insulin, hormones, triacylglycerol, HbA1c, short-chain fatty acid, red blood cells and FGF21. Urine samples will be collected throughout the study. A followup session at 16 weeks will reassess previous measures.
