Additional Study Information:
The Physiology of the Weight Reduced State (POWERS) is a national research study designed to discover and learn what happens to the human body after weight loss and to learn why some people regain their lost weight. Understanding why this happens could help health professionals improve strategies for successful weight loss maintenance after weight loss. POWERS is a research study with a goal to understand the changes in the body that occur after weight loss and learn how these changes affect the ability to keep the weight off. It involves universities, medical centers, researchers, and most importantly, study participants. Learning about how the body changes with weight loss will help researchers and clinicians to better guide people on weight loss programs in the future. POWERS is supported and managed by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
