Weight Loading Buffers RMR Drop

  • Studies show adding external weight during dieting blunts the RMR drop that normally follows weight loss.
  • A diet-plus-weighted-vest group only lost ~16 kcal/day RMR versus ~250 kcal/day in diet-only controls, reducing long-term regain.

Heavy Load Drives Recomposition

  • Heavier continuous loading (≈11% body weight) produces body recomposition: less fat, more lean mass.
  • Changes occurred without increased energy expenditure or intake changes, suggesting a gravitostat effect.

Loading Improves Liver Health

  • Heavy loading also improved liver markers and reduced indicators of fatty liver disease.
  • Improved liver health suggests broader metabolic benefits beyond body composition.
