Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation
E% percentage of total energy intake, WM weight maintenance period
aDietary intake during the WM was calculated as the mean intake of weeks 6, 12, 18 and 24 of the WM
bThe difference between the groups in the changes in dietary intake using independent samples t test (normally distributed variables) and Mann–Whitney test (non-normally distributed variables)
cThe difference between the groups at baseline p = 0.03 (independent samples t test)
