\"\"<\/a>It’s become an ending just as predictable as the latest Hollywood romantic comedy: weight gain after a successful run on a diet. While the most common explanation for this unhappy ending is dieting methods that will never turn into lifestyle changes, you may have hormones to blame as well.<\/p>\n

According to a new study, the levels of appetite hormones in the body before dieting may be a predictor of weight regain after dieting.<\/p>\n

“Treating obesity with drugs<\/a> or dietary programs can be very effective in the short-term, but the long-term success of maintaining the weight lost is usually poor,” said lead study author Ana Crujeiras, PhD, of Compejo Hospitalario Universitario de Santiago in Spain.<\/p>\n

“Our study sheds light on how the appetite hormones leptin<\/a> and ghrelin affect weight regain after weight loss. This knowledge could be used as a tool to personalize weight-loss programs that could guarantee success in keeping off the weight.”<\/p>\n

The researchers evaluated 104 obese or overweight men and women during an eight-week low-calorie diet<\/a> and again 32 weeks after treatment.<\/p>\n

They found that people who had higher plasma leptin and lower ghrelin levels before dieting were more prone to regaining the weight they lost after dieting.<\/p>\n

Crujeiras feels that her team’s findings could provide assistance for nutritionists in identify people who may need specialized weight-loss programs that would target appetite hormone levels before beginning a conventional diet.<\/p>\n
