Metabolic adaptation
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) decreased during the caloric restriction (CR) intervention compared to baseline.
Practitioners should note that caloric restriction can lead to a decrease in resting metabolic rate over time.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Absolute values for RMR decreased during the intervention compared to baseline.
Why this rating
Based on a one-year randomized controlled trial.
