Metabolic adaptation
Dietary glycemic index does not influence the adaptation of resting energy expenditure during weight loss.
Practitioners should note that dietary glycemic index may not be a significant factor in managing resting energy expenditure during weight loss.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
Dietary GI does not appear to attenuate the reduction in REE associated with weight loss when potentially confounding factors such as dietary protein level are controlled.
Why this rating
Based on a randomized controlled trial with a clear design.
