Inclusion criteria

Body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 - 24.9 kg/m2 and a waist circumference of ≤ 88 cm for women, and ≤ 102 cm for men or a BMI between 25 - 40 kg/m2 and a waist circumference of > 88 cm for women, and > 102 cm for men. BMI and waist circumference thresholds vary amongst ethnicities. People with a South Asian, Chinese, other Asian, Middle Eastern, Black African or African-Caribbean family background are prone to central adiposity and their cardiometabolic risk occurs at a lower BMI. Therefore, the following BMI and waist circumference thresholds will be applied for people of South Asian, other Asian, Black African and African-Caribbean ethnicity: (1) BMI 18.5 kg/m2 to 23 kg/m2 and waist circumference of < 90 cm for men and < 80 cm for women; (2) BMI 23.1 kg/m2 to 40 kg/m2 and waist circumference of ≥ 90 cm for men and ≥ 80 cm for women.
Normally consumes three meals a day
Able to walk continuously for 1 hour on a treadmill
Weight stable for 3 months (< 3kg change in weight)
Regular menstrual cycle for the last 6 months (people taking the combined contraceptive pill are eligible for the study)
Able to undergo a 45-minute MRI scan

Exclusion criteria

Smokers (vaping is considered smoking in this study)
Known medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, heart condition)
Taking any medication which may affect the study outcomes (e.g. liraglutide, semaglutide, insulin, steroids, anti-psychotics)
Clinically diagnosed eating disorder
Previous bariatric surgery (e.g. gastric bypass, gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy)
Food allergies or intolerances, or severe dislikes to study foods
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Have recently donated blood (within eight weeks of visits 2 and 3).
