Hypercaloric

Metabolically-normal (n = 12) and metabolically-abnormal (n = 8) obese people, defined as having low or high intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) content, respectively, but matched on body mass index (BMI) and fat mass, were prescribed a hypercaloric diet for 7–8 weeks, until they gained ~6% of their initial body weight.
