Distinct features in energy expenditure in ‘hedonic obesity’ vs. ‘metabolic obesity’. In this hypothetical illustration, we use resting energy expenditure (REE) regressed to ‘metabolic mass’ (MM). REE/MM falls onto the regression line in the case of normal weight and metabolic obesity, as both are at the respective set points, whereas REE/MM is significantly above the regression line (‘outlier’) in the case of hedonic obesity as the body weight is above the set point.
