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: HCA treatment reduced 24 h EI in humans while satiety was sustained, and changes in the appetite profile, dietary restraint, mood, taste perception and hedonics were documented.

TL;DR: A post hoc analysis found that RDs had a much greater weight cycling history than RNDs, which is most consistent with the Three-Factor Model of Dieting, but also point to needed revisions both in this model and in traditional restraint theory.

Relationship between diet-induced changes in body fat and appetite sensations in women.
TL;DR: There is a significant association between the decrease in body fat mass and the change in appetite sensations, predicting a 5.8-mm increase in desire to eat and a 3.6-mm decrease in fullness per kg fat loss.
