Run-in diet (weeks 1–2) | Intervention (weeks 3–8) | Run-in diet (weeks 1–2) | Intervention (weeks 3–8) | |
Energy, kcal/d | 2639 ± 363 | 2551 ± 358a | 2673 ± 395 | 2566 ± 359a |

All values are means ± SDs. aSignificantly different from the run-in diet, P < 0.05 (paired-samples t test). bSignificantly different from refined grain (ANCOVA adjusted for baseline value, age, sex, and BMI), P < 0.05.
White bread was used as the reference.
