After nine months, one patient who had
experienced a 9 percent increase in resting metabolic rate reduced his weight
by 16.4 percent. Another patient, whose metabolic chamber metabolic rate change
was indeterminate due to motion during the selected stimulation approach, lost
12.3 percent of her weight after 11 months at the optimal setting. The final
patient had a 0.9 percent decrease after 16 months at optimal settings, but
also commented that this was the first time in her life that she did not have
to fight constant hunger, and her binge eating score reduced from severe to
within normal range.
The team believes expanded research studies might show that optimal settings would reduce appetite and food cravings, as well… In order for survival during lean times, humans have evolved to automatically lower metabolic rate when food intake goes down -- an innate "set point" that can add challenge to weight-loss efforts. This work by Oh and colleagues suggests that the "set point" can be adjusted like a thermostat.
