Brief Summary: The purpose of the study is to investigate in overweight patients who are on a telemedically guided weight loss program the influence of a daily vitamin D supplement on

weight loss and body composition
selected inflammation markers and biochemical parameters of lipid and glucose metabolism
selected clinical parameters such as blood pressure heart rate
Detailed Description: Obese patients are known to have low levels of vitamin D metabolites There is some evidence that vitamin D andor dietary calcium may influence energy metabolism and body weight We therefore perform a prospective controlled trial with 200 overweight Body mass index 27-299 kgm2 and obese subjects Body mass index 30 kgm2 who are on a telemedically guided weight loss program Subjects randomly receive a daily vitamin D supplement or a placebo for 1 year Participants have to send their body weight data to the study office weekly In addition a nutritionist at the study office has to be contacted weekly to receive further support concerning the weight loss program Dietary records have to be completed monthly Clinical parameters and blood samples are collected at baseline and after 6 and 12 months It is the aim of the study to investigate the vitamin D effects on weight loss and body composition In addition possible vitamin D effects on clinical and selected biochemical parameters should be assessed These parameters include heart rate blood pressure inflammation markers and parameters of lipid and glucose metablolism
