Summary
This study looks at how the brain reacts to different nutrients (sugar, fat, or protein) in people with obesity compared to healthy-weight individuals. Researchers will use brain scans and blood tests to see if there are differences in brain activity and metabolism after eating. The goal is to better understand why some people struggle with weight, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
