TLDR
In this article, a two-long intervention study was conducted to obtain predictors of weight maintenance after a weight-loss intervention, which revealed that 50% of the variability in weight regain could be explained by pphysiological and behavioral factors.Abstract:
Objective: To obtain predictors of weight maintenance after a weight-loss intervention. Research Methods and Procedures: An overall analysis of data from two-long intervention studies [n = 67 women; age: 37.9±1.0 years; body weight (BW): 87.0±1.2 kg; body mass index: 32.1±0.5 kg·m-2; % body fat: 42.4±0.5%]. Subjects were measured before a very low energy diet (month 0), after the very low energy diet of 2 months (month 2) and after a 14-month follow-up phase (at 16 months), in which fiber or a carbohydrate-containing food supplement was supplied. The baseline measurements and the changes in parameters induced by the diet intervention were used to predict the changes in BW in the follow-up phase [ABW(2-16)]. Results: Multiple regression analysis revealed that 50% (p<0.001) of the variability in weight regain could be explained by pphysiological and behavioral factors. These were: frequency of previous dieting (r2 = 0.27, p<0.05), hunger score (measured with the three-factor eating behavior questionnaire), and change in 24-hour resting metabolic rate (RMR). Frequent dieters showed significantly more weight regain than less frequent dieters (8.8±1.0 kg vs. 5.1±0.8 kg, p<0.01). Subjects having parents with obesity regained almost significantly more weight than subjects with lean parents (8.5±0.2 kg vs. 5.1±1.5 kg, respectively; p = 0.06). Discussion: Physiological (ΔRMR-24 hours) and behavioral factors (previous frequency of dieting and hunger score) predicted failure of weight maintenance and, as such, can be used to identify women who are at risk for weight regain.

TL;DR: It is shown that food intake in mice requires the combined actions of both Y1 and Y5 receptors, and the pivotal, combined role of both SOTA and Y1/Y5 receptors in the mediation of food intake is demonstrated.

TL;DR: The present review highlights specific potential benefits of satiety, including: providing appetite control strategies for consumers generally and for those who are highly responsive to food cues; offering pleasure and satisfaction associated with low-energy/healthier versions of foods without feeling ‘deprived’; reducing dysphoric mood associated with hunger especially during energy restriction; and improved compliance with healthy eating or weight-management efforts.

Obesity: a disease or a biological adaptation? An update
TL;DR: In this paper, obesity is characterized by the accumulation of excess body fat and can be conceptualized as the physical manifestation of chronic energy excess, which is a sign of our contemporary way of living or a 'collateral damage' in the physiological struggle against modernity.

TL;DR: Although most women who lost a clinically significant amount of weight regained most of it, they gained less weight over the entire 6 y period than their peers.
