Overview

Body weight regulation is the process by which the body maintains its weight. This is achieved through the balance of energy intake (food) and energy expenditure (exercise and metabolic processes). Through intricate hormonal and neurological pathways, the body is able to maintain its weight through the regulation of hunger and satiety, energy expenditure, and energy storage. Improper body weight regulation is often linked with a range of health complications, including increased risk for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain forms of cancer. Individuals can improve their body weight regulation by making healthy eating and exercise choices, as well as through researching and working with health care professionals to understand their unique metabolic needs.
