Study Summary

This trial studies if changes in metabolism and/or brain activity can explain why weight loss can plateau despite efforts to continue losing weight.

What is being tested?

The study is examining why people stop losing weight after initial success with a Behavioral Weight Loss Program, focusing on changes in metabolism and brain function that might cause this plateau.See study design

What are the potential side effects?
