AppId is over the quota
Jen Davis for The New York TimesIn this week’s New York Times Magazine, I explore new research that helps explain why most dieters who lose weight end up gaining it all back.
If anything, the emerging science of weight loss teaches us that perhaps we should rethink our biases about people who are overweight. It is true that people who are overweight, including myself, get that way because they eat too many calories relative to what their bodies need. But a number of biological and genetic factors can play a role in determining exactly how much food is too much for any given individual. Clearly, weight loss is an intense struggle, one in which we are not fighting simply hunger or cravings for sweets, but our own bodies.
To learn more, read the full article, “The Fat Trap,” and then join me in a discussion below. I’ll be taking reader questions, but also want to hear your own stories of weight loss and gain, and whether the science reported here reflects your own experiences.
