Metabolic adaptation
There was no significant effect of diet on change in resting metabolic rate (RMR) after accounting for the decreases in body fat and fat free mass (FFM) at any time point.
Dietary glycemic load does not significantly affect resting metabolic rate during caloric restriction.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
There was no significant effect of diet on change in RMR after accounting for the decreases in body fat and FFM, at any time point (p=0.51 at 3 mo, p=0.56 at 6 mo and p=0.85 at 12 mo).
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
