 Endocrinologists of the University Hospital of Antwerp, Belgium, will be recruiting women during consultations. Also, recruitment posters will be used in the University Hospital of Antwerp and the University of Antwerp. Potential participants meeting all a priori set inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized by minimization method to a hypocaloric diet group usual care or a group of hypocaloric diet combined with physical fitness training. Both groups will undergo an intake procedure in which personal goals are set and barriers to changes in behavior will be discussed. Ectopic fat deposition will be measured by imaging techniques after three and six months of intervention. A post-intervention follow-up period of six months is planned. Based on the known relationship between ectopic fat and cardiovascular outcomes, the short term study results will then be extrapolated to an estimation of the reduction of cardiovascular events.
