Adaptations of Exercise Energy Metabolism in Response to Weight Loss in Healthy Normal Weight People
Sponsor: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
Summary
More and more normal weight people are dieting in the general population. The NUTRILEX study aims to better understand the physiological adaptations in response to weight loss in healthy normal weight individuals. After an inclusion visit to verify the eligibility criteria of the subjects, they will complete a "T0" control session. The subjects will then have to complete two phases. The first transversal phase consists of 4 randomized sessions with lunch ad libitum after a physical exercise: i) a control session (no exercise, CON); ii) an exercise session at initial body weight (BWT0); iii) an exercise session with a simulated weight loss of 3% performed on an anti-gravity treadmill (BW-3%) and; iv) an exercise session with a simulated weight loss of 6% performed on an anti-gravity treadmill (BW-6%). During the second longitudinal phase, the participants will perform a dietary rebalancing and a slight caloric restriction (dietary intervention) in order to induce a weight loss of 6% of their initial body weight. Subjects will then perform an exercise session after losing 3% (T1) and then 6% (T2) of their initial body weight.

Interventions
Dietary weight loss intervention
Based on an energy assessment from the data collected at T0 (energy intake, physical activity level, and resting metabolism), individualized nutritional advice will be given during an interview in order to propose a dietary rebalancing and a light caloric restriction. Caloric restriction will be generated to decrease body weight by ≈ 0.5 to 1 kg per week, as advised in several publications. As for the dietary rebalancing, it will concern in particular the distribution of macronutrients and their nature (glycemic index, nature of lipids), the fibers intake, or the reduction of consumption of refined and/or energy-dense foods based on the ANSES Recommended Dietary Allowances and on the food consumption guidelines of the National Nutrition and Health Program.
