Summary
This study followed 22 adults with obesity who went through a standard diet program, starting with a very-low-calorie diet and then a regular weight loss diet with counseling. Researchers measured weight loss, body fat distribution, glucose metabolism, and inflammation over 12 months. The goal was to understand how the body adapts to weight loss, not to test a new drug or treatment.
