      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: In this trial, the balanced random block method will be used, with a block size of 4 (combination of A and B as groups). Using the website Randomization.com, random allocation will be done for 80 people in the form of 20 blocks of 4. Since body mass index is an important variable in the intervention effect. This intervention will be implemented in a classified manner. In order to carry out this experiment correctly, a random allocation list will be produced separately for each of the two classes of body mass index 40 to 45 and 45 to 50, Blinding description: One of the nurses will be responsible for randomly selecting patients and prescribing supplements for them. In order to carry out this research blindly, the supplements will be completely similar and closed in terms of appearance. Also, HMB supplement and placebo are separated by a specific code from the company, which will be determined after analyzing the results of the code for each group. Researchers and doctors will not know about the studied groups and the type of supplement prescribed.</study_design>
