Abstract in brief

  • Weight loss triggers metabolic changes that increase hunger and decrease energy requirements, creating a biological drive to regain weight.
  • Hormonal shifts, such as increased ghrelin and decreased leptin, along with reductions in resting metabolic rate and thermic effect of food, help explain why weight regain often occurs.
  • Long-term weight maintenance may be supported by eating high-protein, fiber-rich, low-glycemic-load diets, staying physically active, and maintaining a high energy expenditure to better regulate hunger and energy balance.
