    The easiest way to explain it is how Lyle McDonald explained it. Pretend for a second that you live in the caveman era. Our bodies love fat alot more than they like muscle. Fat keeps our bodies warm. The more scarce food is, the more your body thinks it's starving and to hold onto any fat and tissue it can in hopes to survive.

    Now relate this into today's day and age about dieting. Same concept.
