Scientists probe why some people can overeat without gaining weight
NCT ID NCT00523627
Summary
This study aimed to understand why some people are more resistant to weight gain when they overeat. Researchers measured how the body burns calories when 203 healthy participants fasted or ate double their usual calories on different diets (like high-protein or high-fat). The goal was to learn if these short-term metabolic responses could predict long-term weight changes and identify protective mechanisms.
