The study protocol was approved by the Ethical Committee of Lund University, Sweden (#2006/361).\n\nThe trial consisted of three periods: 1) diet-restriction period (one month) 2) stabilizing period (one month) 3) diet-restriction period with supplementation of thylakoids or placebo (one month). The two weight-losing periods included strict diet recommendation with -30 energy % (E%), and macronutrient composition: 55-65 E% carbohydrates, 10-15 E% protein and 25-35 E% fat. Sixty minutes of low intensive exercise per day was also required.\n\nDuring the stabilizing month participants were instructed to eat a healthy diet to be able to keep their achieved weight-loss.\n\nDay 0, 28, 56 and 84 the participants arrived after 12-hour fasting for blood sampling and anthropometric measurements.
