Increasing energy flux to decrease the biological drive toward weight regain after weight loss - A proof-of-concept pilot study.

Randomized Controlled Trial

2016 Feb

After losing weight, people who exercised more and ate more didn’t have better blood sugar or insulin responses after meals compared to those who were sedentary — but they felt less hungry. So, feeling less hungry isn’t because of better blood sugar control.

After losing weight, obese adults who eat more calories and burn more energy each day do not show different changes in calorie burning after meals or in blood sugar and insulin levels compared to those who eat fewer calories and burn less energy.

After losing weight, obese adults who experience a high energy flux—meaning they eat and burn a lot of calories—do not show different changes in calorie burning after eating or in blood sugar and insulin levels compared to those with a low energy flux.

After losing weight, obese adults feel fuller during the day when they consume and burn more energy, compared to when they consume and burn less energy, even when blood sugar and insulin levels are similar.

After losing weight, obese adults who increase their physical activity and calorie intake to match energy expenditure show a slightly higher resting metabolic rate and reduced feelings of hunger compared to those who remain sedentary and eat less.

After losing weight, obese adults who maintain higher levels of physical activity and food intake have a slightly higher resting metabolic rate than those with lower activity and intake, resulting in an increase of about 79 calories burned per day at rest.
