This study assessed the impact of an 8-week low-calorie diet (LCD) on adipose tissue (AT) depots in adults with obesity using MRI. Significant weight loss and reductions in all MRI-based AT parameters were observed. Absolute SAT loss exceeded VAT loss, while relative apparent lipid loss was higher in VAT. The lower abdominopelvic third showed the most significant reduction. Normalized baseline SAT volume in the lower abdominopelvic third was the strongest predictor of AT and apparent lipid loss, with smaller volumes associated with greater loss.
