The Claim

In obese adults with type 2 diabetes, changes in adjusted resting metabolic rate are associated with concurrent changes in glycemia, total cholesterol, and VO2max during weight loss.

In plain English

In obese adults with type 2 diabetes, changes in resting metabolic rate during weight loss are linked to changes in blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, and aerobic fitness.

See the scientific wording

In obese adults with type 2 diabetes, changes in adjusted resting metabolic rate (adjRMR) are associated with changes in glycemia, total cholesterol, and VO2max, suggesting that metabolic adaptations during weight loss may be linked to improvements in cardiovascular and glucose metabolism.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: One-year caloric restriction and 12-week exercise training intervention in obese adults with type 2 diabetes: emphasis on metabolic control and resting metabolic rate

    When obese people with diabetes lost weight through diet and exercise, their bodies burned calories differently at rest—and this change was linked to better blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and improved fitness. So yes, how their metabolism changed helped them get healthier.
