¹ Regression models also included BMI at randomization, changes in the dependent variables during the weight loss phase, gender, type of centre, dietary protein intake (as % of energy intake), animal protein intake (as % of total protein intake), GI, dietary fat intake (as % of energy intake) and fibre intake (g/1000 kcal); * remains significant after adjusting for weight change during WM.
