Fig. 1. Schematic of study activities. DR = 3d diet records, Log = 24 hour hunger or activity logs (kept by 1/3 of participants each), BC = body weight and composition, diet intervention (C = cereal, V = Volumetric diet).
Fig. 2. Mean (SE) weight loss (kg) during the two week cereal intervention phase (A), Volumetric diet phase (B) and total intervention (C) for participants consuming a single cereal or variety of cereals for breakfast and a second meal daily or receiving no dietary intervention (both control groups) prior to implementation of the four week Volumetric diet phase. The Diet control group adhered to the Volumetric diet for the final four study weeks whereas the non-diet control group received no dietary intervention. Bars with different letters are significantly different.
Fig. 3. Mean (SE) loss of fat mass (kg) during the two week cereal intervention phase (A), Volumetric diet phase (B) and total intervention (C) for participants consuming a single cereal or variety of cereals for breakfast and a second meal daily or receiving no dietary intervention (both control groups) prior to implementation of the four week Volumetric diet phase. The Diet control group adhered to the Volumetric diet for the final four study weeks whereas the non-diet control group received no dietary intervention. Bars with different letters are significantly different.
Fig. 4. Mean (SE) loss of total body water (kg) during the two week cereal intervention phase (A), Volumetric diet phase (B) and total intervention (C) for participants consuming a single cereal or variety of cereals for breakfast and a second meal daily or receiving no dietary intervention (both control groups) prior to implementation of the four week Volumetric diet phase. The Diet control group adhered to the Volumetric diet for the final four study weeks whereas the non-diet control group received no dietary intervention.
