1

There were no significant differences during week 2. RMR, resting metabolic rate; RQ, respiratory quotient; WC, waist circumference.

2

Determined with the use of an ANCOVA. Model 1 was adjusted for the baseline value of the outcome; model 2 was adjusted as for model 1 and for age, sex, and baseline BMI; and model 3 was adjusted as for model 2 and for weight change.

3

All values are means ± SDs.

4

All values are means (95% CIs).

5

Obtained from model 1 with refined grain as the reference group.

6

Adjusted for age, sex, fat mass, and fat-free mass with the use of the residual method.
