The above article, published online on 9 May 2015 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), and in Volume 23, pp. 1244-1251, has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal Editors-in-Chief, Eric Ravussin and Donna Ryan, the Obesity Society, and Wiley Periodicals, Inc. The retraction has been agreed to because the statistical analysis was not correct given the cluster-randomized design, and the wrong degrees of freedom were used. The conclusion that the original paper drew about having demonstrated treatment efficacy was not supported in the corrected analysis.
