Data are presented as estimated mean weight change from baseline and 95% confidence intervals for each combination of the dietary intake-time-P/B strata interaction after 24 weeks in the linear mixed models, which were adjusted for subject as random effects (M1). In model 2 (M2) additional adjustments for age, gender, baseline BMI, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and diet allocation as fixed factors were performed. Model 3 (M3) include M2 + additional adjustments of fat E%, protein E%, carbohydrate E%, and fiber g/10MJ as continues variables (except when included as exposure). The displayed n is from M1 at week 24

P/B Prevotella-to-Bacteroides

1The approximate median value among the 49 participants having self-reported dietary intake was used as cut-off and was as following: Fat (31 E%), Protein (20 E%), Carbohydrate (46 E%), Fiber (30 g/10 MJ)

2Significant different (P < 0.05) within P/B-group between lower and higher median of dietary component
