Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	low GI	All diets were designed with similar macronutrients content (30% fat, 0.8 g/kg/d protein and remained calorie requirement by carbohydrate). Additionally, we controlled phosphorus, sodium and potassium content of diets for three intervention groups. All dietary menus had less than 1500 mg phosphor and less than 2400 mg sodium and 2000 mg potassium.
