It's a dieter's dream: imagine that your appetite simply reduced, making it easy for you to eat less, but your body continued to burn the amount of calories it burned when you were eating normally, allowing you to keep the weight off. That is what has happened to a group of mice genetically engineered to limit the action of a gene called Cpe. Their metabolism remained high despite being less hungry and not eating as much as normal mice. (source: newscientist.com)
