Effects of a Low–Glycemic Load vs Low-Fat Diet in Obese Young Adults: A Randomized Trial
TL;DR: A randomized trial of obese young adults (aged 18-35 years; n = 73) was conducted from September 2004 to December 2006 in Boston, Mass, and consisting of a 6-month intensive intervention period and a 12-month follow-up period as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of dietary glycaemic index on adiposity, glucose homoeostasis, and plasma lipids in animals.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the independent effects of dietary glycaemic index (GI) in animals and found that rats given high-GI food had more body fat (97·8 [13] vs 57·3 [7·2] g; p=0·0152) and less lean body mass (450·1 [9·6] vs 491·9 [11·7] g).
