About this trial

This is an interventional other trial for Weight Loss focused on measuring resting metabolic rate, metabolic adaptation

Inclusion Criteria:

BMI > or = 30 any ethnicity

Exclusion Criteria:

weight > or = 400 lbs.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Experimental

Arm Label

lifestyle intervention plus phentermine-topiramate

lifestyle intervention

Arm Description

Participants will be enrolled in a weight loss program based on lifestyle changes and the use of phentermine-topiramate to aid with weight loss

Participants will be enrolled in a weight loss program based on lifestyle changes. They will be given a 6-month subscription to a calorie-reduced meal replacement program that also offers lifestyle coaching.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

change in measured and predicted resting metabolic rate during and after weight loss
resting metabolic rate will be measured by indirect calorimetry every 2 months for 6 months, then every 6 months for an additional 12 month. Predicted resting metabolic rate will be calculated with a mathematical formula at the same time points

Secondary Outcome Measures

change in circulating leptin during and after weight loss
blood will be assayed for this hormone every 2 months for 6 months, then every 6 months for an additional 12 months
change in circulating thyroid hormones during and after weight loss
blood will be assayed for this hormone every 2 months for 6 months, then every 6 months for an additional 12 months
change in circulating GLP-1 during and after weight loss
blood will be assayed for this hormone every 2 months for 6 months, then every 6 months for an additional 12 months
change in circulating PYY during and after weight loss
blood will be assayed for this hormone every 2 months for 6 months, then every 6 months for an additional 12 months
change in circulating AgRP during and after weight loss
blood will be assayed for this hormone every 2 months for 6 months, then every 6 months for an additional 12 months
change in 24h urine catecholamines during and after weight loss
urine will be assayed for these hormones every 2 months for 6 months, then every 6 months for an additional 12 months
change in heart rate variability during and after weight loss
blood will be assayed for this hormone every 2 months for 6 months, then every 6 months for an additional 12 months
