Why we cite it
Narrative review providing an integrative framework for understanding why individuals vary in exercise-induced weight loss, organized into physiological (gut physiology, appetite peptides, substrate oxidation), psychological (TFEQ eating behaviour traits), and behavioural (food preferences, reward-driven eating) compensatory domains. Critically demonstrates that even exercise “non-responders” (mean weight loss 0.9 kg) show marked health improvements, and argues that variability should inform tailored strategies rather than dismiss exercise. Supports the project’s message that exercise value extends beyond the scale.
