Obesity has emerged as a global epidemic, creating an increased burden of weight-related diseases and straining healthcare systems worldwide. While the fundamental principle energy balance-caloric intake versus expenditure-remains central to weight regulation, real-world outcomes often deviate from simplistic predictions due multitude physiological environmental factors. Genetic predispositions, variations in basal metabolic rates, adaptive thermogenesis, physical activity, nutrient losses via fecal urinary excretion contribute interindividual differences homeostasis. Additionally, factors such meal timing, macronutrient composition, gut microbiota dynamics, diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) further modulate utilization efficiency. This Perspective explores key determinants balance, while also highlighting clinical significance thrifty spendthrifty phenotypes. Key strategies for individualized management include precision calorimetry, circadian-aligned use protein- whole food diets enhance DIT, increases non-exercise well mild cold exposure thermogenic agents (e.g., capsaicin-like compounds) stimulate brown adipose tissue activity. A comprehensive, personalized approach obesity that moves beyond restrictive caloric models is essential achieving sustainable control improving long-term health. Integrating these multifactorial insights into practice will treatment strategies, fostering more effective enduring interventions.

Obesity is a major health challenge due to its high prevalence and associated comorbidities. The excessive intake of diet rich in fat sugars leads persistent imbalance between energy expenditure, which increases adiposity. Here, we provide an update on relevant diet-microbe-host interactions contributing or protecting from obesity. In particular, focus how unhealthy diets shape the gut microbiota thus impact crucial intestinal neuroendocrine immune system functions. We describe these promote dysfunction gut-to-brain pathways involved food control postprandial metabolism elevate proinflammatory tone, promoting obesity metabolic complications. addition, examples this knowledge may inspire microbiome-based interventions, such as fecal transplants, probiotics, biotherapeutics, effectively combat obesity-related disorders. also discuss current limitations gaps research
