In a recent study published in the journal PNAS, researchers used a gradient approach to examine how changes in brain state during routine (natural) and regulated dietary decision-making processes influence the success of diet modification efforts. They further investigate the role of body mass indices (BMI) and the extent of brain activity modifications in this success. Their findings reveal that BMI plays an important role in observed dietary outcomes, with higher BMI resulting in lower success rates. The number and extent of brain modifications was also found to be substantial, with fewer and smaller remodeling showing better results than more…
