Failed weight loss attempts still improve health markers

People who don't significantly lose weight through lifestyle changes may still experience health benefits, according to a new international study. The study found participants improved health markers like reduced visceral fat and cholesterol levels, even without major weight loss. The research followed 761 obese individuals for 18-24 months across three sub-studies. Researchers noted that even unsuccessful weight loss attempts can improve health, potentially reducing obesity-related disease risks. Each kilogram lost correlated with improved insulin sensitivity and reduced liver fat.
