Re: Calorie restriction, a diet high in nutrients but low in cal [#permalink]

I also chose D, but in fact the passage doesn't say anything about health. The only one that's supported by the passage is

(E) Some individuals in the study reduced their calorie intake by more than 25%.

It's the only one you can actually defend from the text, with the following sentence:

A 6-month study of 48 moderately overweight people, who each reduced their calorie intake BY AT LEAST 25%, demonstrated decreases in insulin levels and body temperature, with the greatest decrease observed in individuals with the greatest percentage change in their calorie intake.

I find that I get frustrated because I tend to overlook small, but important details in the passage, stem or answer choices. I'm working on paying attention to those details when trying to decide my answer.

When you have to solve an inference question, it is basically a restatement of a sentence in the stimulus.

A paraphrasing actually.
