[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6027857, member: 8835"] yeah, that was long and sciency. Don't contaminate my uninformed opinion with fact! :) A majority of fat people who diet and regain the weight is because they drift back to their poor eating habits. That's a psychological problem/challenge, not a biological one. If you force them to be on diet, they loose weight. Clearly, the science confirms the observation. If you go off that formula, you'll go back to where you were. It's a seperate problem to get them to adopt and stay on a controlled diet. That's probably the hardest part. Shows like the Biggest Loser emphasize that a lot (not discounting the other silly problems with that show). This paragraph should probably be emphasized. While people like me are probably right, "eat less crap, be less fat" is true. Doing it successfully and forever is a huge hurdle. The argument shouldn't be over my assumed fact, it should be over how best to help overweight people execute a plan to get them healthy. Folks like the Pima indians (never heard of them), who apparently barely get any food and are fat? Obviously, that's an exception. Assuming their meal is sparse but healthy (not a 1/4 of butter every day), that's funky wierd and why we pay scientists to research that stuff. It's possible/plausible that some fat people who start eating a healthy (ie smaller/restricted diet) go into hibernation preparation mode and their body still stockpiles fat, but that's likely not common. At some point, the body has taken in too little fuel and MUST burn its own local resources (fat, muscle). A body that doesn't do that, does have a different medical problem than "being fat". There are more examples of people who were starved/limited food who are scrawny than fat. Most human bodies respond to reduced food intake in a very predictable way. [/QUOTE]
