More on the futility of dieting
Earlier posts here, here and here discussed the general ineffectiveness of dieting. Now, this Gina Kolata/NY Times article reports that researchers at Rockefeller University are finding that "it is entirely possible that weight reduction, instead of resulting in a normal state for obese patients, results in an abnormal state resembling that of starved nonobese individuals.”
In other words, being fat may just be an inherited condition.
