[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6027724, member: 9037"] There are a lot of reasons for obesity besides overeating. Especially when we are talking about very high obesity. There is an issue of metabolism some very heavy people have such sluggish ones that a diet of 1000 calories won't budge the scale. Also studies are showing more and more that for very overweight people often their brain chemistry is not the same as normal weight people. For one the full signal does not work properly. When they manage to lose weight their brain goes into famine mode and the body slows down the weight loss. There is also psychological issues involved which is why the people who tend to lose weight and keep it off if they are very heavy have some kind of psychological help going on. One of the things about low carb is that you can eat a lot which helps people stick to it also fat makes food more satisfying so dieters feel less deprived and more willing to stick to it. The big problem is if they don't change the habits and deal with the issues that made them fat in the first place they gain back the weight and usually some extra. My roommate has celiac which means no gluten and with the research we have done on it we have been finding studies showing the wheat grown today has a higher gluten content than heritage wheat. Some experts in the study of obesity thinks they may cause you to gain weight easier. Also chemicals and fake food like high fructose corn syrup are in so many things and one of the bad things they are finding about HFCS is that it interferes with the body ability to recognize it is full. I don't think it is any coincidence that they started putting this in our foods in the 1980s and this was about the time we started seeing a raise in childhood obesity. I know it is not the only reason but I do think it is part of it. Girls are now maturing and getting their first periods earlier than they used to and this is directly related to the growth hormones in our meat. One thing that the paleo diets encourages is buying and eating organic meat and meat raised on grasses not corn. I am not making excuses for over weight people I am just pointing out that with very heavy people there may be more going on than just eating to much. [/QUOTE]
