Metabolic adaptation
Measured resting energy expenditure (mREE) was significantly lower than predicted resting energy expenditure (pREE) at both 12 weeks and 17 weeks.
This indicates that weight loss leads to a significant decrease in energy expenditure, which should be considered in weight management strategies.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
mREE was 56 ± 89 kcal/d and 44 ± 108 kcal/d lower than pREE at 12 wk (p < 0.001) and 17 wk (p < 0.01), respectively.
Why this rating
Based on a randomized controlled trial with clear measurements.
Source
Dietary glycemic index does not influence adaptation of resting energy expenditure during weight loss (371.7)
