The main questions it aims to answer are: Primary endpoint: • The percentage of weight loss at 26 weeks Secondary endpoints: * A weight loss percentage at 10 weeks, 16 weeks and at end of trial (= 52 weeks from start) * A proportion of patients with a weight loss percentage of 5% or more at 10, 16, 26 and 52 weeks * A proportion of patients with a weight loss percentage of 10% or more at 10, 16, 26 and 52 weeks * The time to reach a weight loss percentage of 5% and 10% * The dose of naltrexone/bupropion used at 10, 16, 26 and 52 weeks and at the end of the trial * The tolerability of VLCKD and NB * The adherence to VLCKD and NB * The Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) of hunger and cravings at 0, 4, 10, 16, 26 and 52 weeks * The change in fasting glucose, lipids and blood pressure at 10, 16, 26 and 52 weeks Researchers will compare an experimental arm (N/B + Lifestyle + VLCKD) with comparator arm (NB + lifestyle) to see if combined VLCKD, intensive lifestyle and N/B is superior. Participants will: * get NB and lifestyle changes for 26 weeks * follow a VLCKD in the first 10 weeks on top of it, if they belong to the experimental arm * follow NB combined with lifestyle the remaining 16 weeks * be follow…
