Scientists test why diets fail: does your body sabotage weight loss?

NCT ID NCT06309576

Summary

This study aims to understand how the body naturally tries to prevent weight loss. Researchers will observe 12 people with either low body weight or obesity during a short fast and refeeding period, measuring their energy intake and expenditure in a controlled room. The goal is to gather preliminary data to test different theories about how body weight is regulated, which could inform future obesity research.
