a
Changes in hunger ratings are based on slopes of least squared estimated of straight lines. R-squared values were 0.67 for obese controls and 0.76 for BED participants.
b
Changes in fullness ratings are based on slopes of least squared estimated of straight lines. R-squared values were 0.73 for obese controls and 0.85 for BED participants.
