Great article, and I have read up on how to fight this.
One of our resident egg-heads can explain the science in detail, but yes.
It's called many things like our "weight thermostat" that changes the chemical structure of the brain.
With fat people the thermostat is screwed up, making us crave food which leads to eating like a pig which leads to weight gain.
And when we lose weight, our "weight thermostat" freaks out and drives us insane until we cave to the cravings.
BUT...
The longer you maintain a healthy weight, the easier it becomes, because your "weight thermostat" resets over time.
This is why we need to work hard to maintain once we reach our goal weight. We think the war is won, but that's just the end of the beginning. THE FIGHT CONTINUES!0 -
