Figure. * = 0.003 for comparisons between diet groups by random-coefficient analysis. The difference in weight loss was not
significant between the 2 diet groups by 1 year ( = 0.195 before and > 0.2 after adjustment for baseline variables, by random-coefficient
analysis). Error bars represent SDs. Comparison of mean weight loss in kg between participants on the conventional diet and participants on the low-carbohydrate
diet at 6 months (n= 118) and at 1 year (n= 126).PPP
