Effect of weight loss and regain on adipose tissue distribution, composition of lean mass and resting energy expenditure in young overweight and obese adults

Background: Although weight cycling is frequent in obese patients, the adverse consequences on body composition and an increased propensity to weight gain remain controversial. Objective: We investigated the effect of intentional weight loss and spontaneous regain on fat distribution, the compositio...

Zusammenfassung:Background: Although weight cycling is frequent in obese patients, the adverse consequences on body composition and an increased propensity to weight gain remain controversial. Objective: We investigated the effect of intentional weight loss and spontaneous regain on fat distribution, the composition of lean mass and resting energy expenditure (REE). Design: Weight regainers (⩾30% of loss, n =27) and weight-stable subjects (within
