Good Data. Terrible Title.

Obese females who are most unlikely to lose weight are most in need of losing it
Despite the similarities in body weight and composition, the participants with high disinhibition scores were twice as insulin resistant as those with low disinhibition. Fasting insulin, leptin, and acyl ghrelin levels were comparable in both groups.
Too bad they didn't check orexin levels.  Go figure...

Their title is obtuse to the point of inaccuracy and really kind of demeaning, though.
 "Obese females with difficulty restricting eating behavior have altered metabolisms. "
There.  Better.
