@AbdTahrani @Mpmok @FionaQuigs Her appetite conclusion is based primarily on subjective measures & lack of significant correlation between ghrelin changes after weight loss and subsequent weight regain. IMO, this doesn't justify the conclusion. Rather, see: https://t.co/VXrrgFqt0U https://t.co/chh0IMkBsV

Incorporating both the appetite and expenditure effects, interventions that persist over time end up having smaller effects on long-term body weight. More details are provided in the following papers: https://t.co/VXrrgFICf2 https://t.co/u9V8LxgWGV https://t.co/VXrrgFICf2

@oldglstuf @KevinH_PhD 100 kcal/day is an average. So if one loses 45 kg I suspect their brain was not as stubborn or "defensive" but most brains will still fight back over the years. Can read this news article: https://t.co/N8oZyrT3wF that is based on this scientific paper: https://t.co/UpQ6bDRfzl

@joshuapliu 2 points: -80% of weight lost via lifestyle interventions is regained within 5 years, so I question the durability of any lifestyle approach. https://t.co/2CC3rUe94p -10% or more should be the standard https://t.co/kLL0WzRmas
