Summary
This study looked at what happens inside the body when people with obesity stop following restrictive diets. Researchers measured changes in mitochondria (the cell's energy centers) and gut bacteria after participants returned to normal eating. The goal was to understand why diet failures can lead to further health problems. 84 adults with obesity took part, following one of three diets for 8 weeks, then were monitored for 24 weeks after stopping.
