For Every Kilogram Of Weight Lost, Patients In New Study Consumed An Extra 100 Calories Per Day.

reported, “For every kg of weight they lost, patients in a new study consumed an extra 100 calories a day – more than three times what they would need to maintain the lower weight,” researchers found. The study’s “findings suggest that ‘a relatively modest increased appetite might explain a lot of the difficulty that people are having in both losing the weight and maintaining that weight loss over time,’ noted senior author Kevin D Hall, MD, from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease, National Institutes of Health.” The findings were presented at Obesity Week 2016 and published in the journal Obesity.
