In Table 3, the outcome measures of change in body mass and thyroid function between the two dietary interventions (n = 11) were reported using joules instead of kcal as stated. Please see the correct Table 3 here.

Table 3. Outcome measures of change in body mass and thyroid function between the two dietary interventions (n = 11).

Variable KD HCLF Diet effect p value Period effect p value
Change in body mass (kg)* -2.9 (-3.5,-2.4) -0.4 (-1.0, 0.1) <0.0001 0.785
RMR (kcal.h-1.kg-1)## 1.16 (1.01, 1.31) 1.14 (0.98, 1.29) 0.122 0.031
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH, mIU/L) 2.06 (1.57,2.55) 2.32 (1.84,2.82) 0.071 0.042
Thyroxine (free T4, pmol.L-1) 19.3 (17.8, 20.9) 17.3 (15.7, 18.8) 0.0066 0.0004
Triiodothyronine (free T3, pmol.L-1) 4.1 (3.8, 4.4) 4.8 (4.5, 5.2) <0.0001 0.0005
T3:T4 ratio 0.25 (0.12, 0.39) 0.41 (0.27, 0.55) 0.0467 0.0817

Data are presented as mean (95% CI)

All measures are within normal ranges: TSH (0.27–4.20 mIU/L), T4 (12.0–22.0 pmol/L), T3 (3.1–6.8 pmol/L)

KD, ketogenic diet; HCLF, high-carbohydrate low-fat diet

*change from either baseline or washout according to diet sequence
