Wow! It sounds interesting, but can someone translate into English, please?
What I got out of it was, very roughly, that regain of weight in women on a calorie-restricted diet is NOT due to their metabolic rate being "reset" to a lower level during dieting, since metabolic rate returns to pre-diet levels about 10 days after "the diet" is over and a "normal diet" is resumed. So this is evidence against the "set point" theory. Which is a Good Thing for us!
But most of the women regained the weight lost (no surprise there). It'd be interesting to know why. Any ideas?
