Read our Obesity research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is investigating how your brain reacts when you consume different types of nutrients—sugar, fat, and protein—and how those reactions relate to your body's metabolism. Researchers will compare these responses in people living with obesity and people with a healthy weight using brain imaging (fMRI) and blood tests to understand why obesity develops and how the body processes different foods differently.
Scientists want to understand the connection between how the brain responds to eating different foods and metabolic problems that often occur with obesity. This knowledge could eventually help develop better treatments or interventions for weight management.

You'll visit the research center three separate times, with at least a week between visits. On each visit, you'll fast beforehand, drink one of three different nutrient drinks (sugar, fat, or protein—each with 200 calories), then have your brain scanned with an MRI machine and provide multiple blood samples over several hours. Between visits, you'll keep a simple food and activity log to help researchers monitor your habits.
