Dairy Foods in a Moderate Energy Restricted Diet Do Not Enhance Central Fat, Weight, and Intra-Abdominal Adipose Tissue Losses nor Reduce Adipocyte Size or Inflammatory Markers in Overweight and Obese Adults: A Controlled Feeding Study

Table 3

Change in weight, body fat, and intra-abdominal adipose tissue in adult women and men consuming low-dairy (LD) or adequate dairy (AD) diets after a 12-week caloric restriction intervention.

Treatment	Δ Weight, kg	Δ Body fat, kg	Δ IAAT, cc
AD	−6.3 ± 2.9**	−5.2 ± 2.8**	−8.5 ± 6.6**
LD	−6.0 ± 3.1**	−5.1 ± 3.0**	−8.9 ± 8.5**

Values are mean ± SD. IAAT: intra-abdominal adipose tissue.
** 𝑃=0.01. Significant time effect only, no significant differences were observed by treatment group.
