[quote=zk]An excellent article about the difficulty of keeping off weight (and the relative ease of losing it).
That was an excellent article. Thank you for sharing it, zk.
It’s obvious to me, just from observing family members and their habits, that weight control is about much more than diet and exercise. I really hope they get a better understanding of what causes one person’s body to burn calories while another person’s body stores them.
I think the tendencey to store energy is associated with the body’s tendency to feel as though it is starving/low on energy (which is what causes it to store calories in the first place, IMO). This is probably what causes overweight people to crave more carbs than someone who is naturally skinny.
