Total energy value (VET) and daily water intake (L) results of study participants in the first and eighth week.

Variables	1st Week	8th Week	p
TEV (Kcal) (median ± IQR)	2552 (2555–2550) * [$\overline{\mathrm{X}}$ ± SD = 2552 ± 2.5]	2202 (2204–2201) * [$\overline{\mathrm{X}}$ ± SD = 2203 ± 2.4]	<0.0001
Water Intake (L) (median ± IQR)	1.5 (1.6–1.5) * [$\overline{\mathrm{X}}$ ± SD = 1.5 ± 0.2]	3.1 (3.5–3.1) * [$\overline{\mathrm{X}}$ ± SD = 3.2± 0.2]	<0.0001

Data presented as median ± interquartile range (IQR). (IQR = Q3 − Q1). An asterisk (*) indicates a significant difference of values observed between the 1st and 8th weeks (Wilcoxon test; p < 0.0001). For curiosity, mean ± standard deviation (SD) values (represented by the symbol $\overline{\mathrm{X}}$ ± SD) are also indicated below the median ± interquartile range (IQR).
