About Gravelle
Our Mission
Gravelle is an independent educational resource dedicated to explaining the physiological and behavioural mechanisms underlying weight regain and metabolic adaptation following severe energy restriction.
What We Are
Gravelle is an informational website providing evidence-based explanations of how the body responds to and adapts to caloric deficit. We present scientific research in accessible language, helping readers understand the complex physiological processes at work during and after energy restriction.
What We Are Not
Gravelle is not:
- A medical or healthcare provider
- A nutritional counselling service
- A weight loss programme or service
- A commercial enterprise selling products or services
- A commercial platform or intermediary
- A source of personalised recommendations or medical advice
Our Focus
We focus exclusively on explaining:
- Metabolic adaptation during and after caloric restriction
- Hormonal changes and their physiological role
- Body composition changes and impacts on energy expenditure
- Appetite regulation and behavioural compensation
- Homeostatic weight regulation mechanisms
- Long-term weight outcomes from research studies
Educational Philosophy
Our approach emphasises understanding physiological mechanisms rather than prescribing specific behaviours. We believe that accurate understanding of how the body regulates energy and weight provides valuable context for interpreting weight loss research and understanding why weight regain frequently occurs.
Evidence-Based Content
All information on Gravelle is grounded in peer-reviewed scientific research and published evidence. We synthesise findings from multiple scientific disciplines including physiology, endocrinology, neurobiology, and behavioural science.
Transparency
We operate with complete transparency regarding our nature as an educational resource:
- No commercial products are sold
- No services are offered
- No personalised guidance is provided
- No medical claims are made
- No promises of outcomes are stated
- Essential policies and disclaimers are clearly displayed
Accessibility
Gravelle is designed to be accessible to interested readers regardless of scientific background. We explain complex physiological concepts in language that is scientifically accurate whilst remaining understandable to non-specialists.
No Commercial Intent
Gravelle exists as an independent educational resource with no commercial intent. We do not generate revenue, promote products, or conduct business activities. Our sole purpose is providing evidence-based educational information.
