I thought this would be interesting so I looked into it, however, you have to be skinny to participate with a BMI of 18-25. I don't understand why they want skinny people to participate to lose weight. It should be for people with a BMI of 25+. Just saying

The weight loss study is for people with a BMI of 27-39.9. And it's twenty-something weeks long, not 5 weeks like the article under the video says. https://www.ars.usda.gov/main/docs.htm?docid=2201…
The 18-25 BMI must be for a different study. Maybe the one with blueberries? That one is 5 weeks long and pays $140. https://www.ars.usda.gov/main/docs.htm?docid=2267…
