Table 1 Sensitivity analysis of TEE. This analysis examines how potential nonadherence could influence the diet effect on TEE in the per protocol (weight stable) group, considering how FQ (used in DLW methodology) changes with macronutrient ratio

  1. aAssumes that any foods eaten off protocol for both low-carbohydrate (20% carbohydrate, 60% fat) and high-carbohydrate (60% carbohydrate, 20% fat) diet groups reflected the macronutrient composition of the moderate-carbohydrate (40% carbohydrate, 40% fat) diet group
  2. bDifference between low- and high-carbohydrate diet groups, minimally adjusted for cohort, as per analyses in BMJ [2]
  3. cRemained statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05
