Summary
This study looked at why some people gain or lose weight more easily than others. Researchers measured how the body's energy use changes when people overeat or fast. 83 healthy adults stayed in the hospital for 10 weeks and had tests like metabolic chamber measurements, body scans, and biopsies. The goal was to see if these energy changes can predict long-term weight changes.
