Neural
The low glycemic load (LG) diet improves tension-anxiety (T) compared to the high glycemic load (HG) diet during caloric restriction.
Practitioners may consider recommending a low glycemic load diet to improve mood during caloric restriction.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
T differed over time in a manner dependent upon diet (time x diet p=0.046), with an overall decrease of T among the LG group.
Why this rating
Based on a randomized hypocaloric trial design.
