Science  Daily — The first phase of a caloric restriction study in
human subjects  at the Jean Mayer US Department of Agriculture Human
Nutrition Research  Center on Aging (USDA HNRCA) at Tufts University
found evidence suggesting  that calorie-restricted diets differing
substantially in glycemic load can  result in comparable long-term
weight loss....

Roberts previously conducted a pilot  study showing that a diet's
overall glycemic load may be an important  determinant of weight loss
for people with high levels of insulin  secretion, such as people with
diabetes. "We have observed that for some  groups, glycemic load may
impact weight loss. However, in terms of  calorie-restricted diets, we
see little difference among diets of varying  glycemic load when we
account for factors that affect dietary  adherence.">>>

Interesting! I would love to have seen this study conducted with a  third
group incorporating their personal choices of high/low glycemic loads  (while
otherwise satisfying the dietary restrictions imposed by the study), but  with
the addition of several rules on timing the participants' nutritional  intake.
This would give some idea of how much impact adjustment of meal timing  has on
weight loss compared to adjusting nutritional content alone.
