  1. The models were adjusted for random effects (participant ID and intervention center). Reported estimates for main effects are from the models without an interaction term because the interactions were not significant.
  2. aTwo intervention diets were high-protein, low-glycemic index and moderate-protein, moderate-glycemic index (MP).
