The Claim
Plasma ghrelin levels do not change over an 8-week period in young women with overweight undergoing calorie restriction, resistance training, and either time-restricted eating or high-protein intake.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In young women with overweight, plasma ghrelin levels stay the same after 8 weeks of eating fewer calories, doing resistance training, and following either time-restricted eating or a high-protein diet.
See the scientific wording
Plasma ghrelin levels remain unchanged during 8 weeks of calorie restriction, resistance training, and either time-restricted eating or high-protein intake in young women with overweight, suggesting these interventions do not alter short-term appetite-stimulating hormone signaling.
When a person eats fewer calories but gets enough protein and lifts weights, their body burns fat for energy instead of muscle, and their hunger hormone stays the same because the brain does not detect a need to increase appetite.
What the research says
1 studyIn overweight women losing weight with exercise, eating within a 10-hour window or eating more protein didn’t change their hunger hormone (ghrelin) levels — so their appetite didn’t get stronger or weaker because of these diets.
