Sumario:I have found an error in the Discussion section of my recent article [1]. While citing a prior work by Okura et al. [2], I incorrectly wrote that their weight-loss participants had "only a 2 percent reduction in leg fat". In context, the correct sentence should have said that their participants had "a 37 percent reduction in TG concentration, a 27 percent reduction in truncal fat, a 26 percent reduction in leg fat, but only a 12 percent reduction in BMI." I regret the inadvertent misquotation. My own data, my conclusions, and my admiration for Okura et al. are unchanged.
