All values are means ± SDs. Differences between dietary intervention groups were analyzed by ANOVA. No significant differences were found between groups.
Weights reported were taken at baseline.
Estimated dietary components were calculated from 3-day diet records. Eight men were excluded from analysis due to average caloric intake being <1000 or >4000 kcals/day.
kg = kilograms, m = meter, kcal = kilocalories, g = grams.
Data presented as frequency of detection and percent of the total cohort. Differences between dietary intervention groups were analyzed with Fisher’s exact test. No significant difference was found.
