Abstract in brief

The text explains that individual responses to obesity treatments like diet, exercise, surgery, and medications vary widely, and this variability may be influenced by factors such as diet adherence, physical activity, sex, age, and specific drugs, but differences still persist even when these factors are controlled.
It highlights that adaptation to energy deficits involves complex feedback mechanisms influenced by genetic, neurohormonal, and tissue-related factors, including gastrointestinal peptides, metabolic efficiency, non-exercise activity, and gut microbiome, which contribute to the differences in weight loss outcomes among individuals.
Understanding these diverse factors will help develop more personalized and effective obesity treatments by better predicting individual responses to various therapies.]
