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
