Energy balance
The mean weight loss for an individual adherent to a 25% caloric restriction regimen is -10.9 ± 6.3% for females and -13.9 ± 6.4% for men after 12 months.
Counselors can use these estimates to set realistic weight loss goals for participants on caloric restriction.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Our model estimates that the mean weight loss (% change from baseline weight) for an individual adherent to a 25% CR regimen is -10.9 ± 6.3% for females and -13.9 + 6.4% for men after 12 months.
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving a caloric restriction intervention with measured outcomes.
