Regulation of body weight is not simply explained. Whenindividuals undergo a weight-loss diet, they often fail to lose theamount of weight predicted by considering only the amount ofcalories consumed. In fact, energy balance is best explained usinga dynamic equation in which changes on one side of the “energyin/energy out” scale result in compensatory metabolic and/orbehavioral changes in the other side. For example, when one beginsa calorie-restricted diet, the metabolic rate often declines sothat weight loss is less than expected.
