Beaulieu K, Casanova N, Oustric P, et al. - Researchers investigated how continuous energy restriction (CER) vs intermittent energy restriction (IER) influences appetite when the degree of weight loss (WL) (≥ 5%) is matched. They performed this controlled-feeding RCT among women with overweight/obesity (BMI 25.0–34.9 kg/m²; age 18–55 y) who were recruited via CER (25% daily energy restriction) or IER (alternating ad libitum and 75% energy restriction days). Measurements were taken at baseline, thereafter, they assigned participants to CER (n = 22) or IER (n = 24). The attainment of ≥ 5% WL was noted in 30 of 37 completers. Findings revealed that the observed influence of CER vs IER, for controlled ≥5% WL, on changes in body composition, reductions in hunger, and improvements in eating behavior traits was not different. This implies that none of these strategies result in compensatory adaptations in appetite in women with overweight/obesity.
