Summary

The main purpose of this study is to assess factors mediating the changes in insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance before and after 10 lbs ± or 2% weight loss reduction as well as 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after initiation of a low calorie diet. The investigators will also study the following: 1. The impact of diet induced weight loss on hormones/adipokine levels 2. The impact of diet induced weight loss on leptin tolerance
