In a just released study, a mechanism that may explain a part of why overweight people get fatter rather than slimmer. It has to do with an inflammatory response in fatty tissue. Sounds complicated and it probably is in biochemical terms, but the upshot is that if you are over weight and manage to lose weight and keep it off, eventually your body will recalibrate and keep slimmer. Of course there are other mechanism waiting in the wings to make you gain again. Genes play a role as does the psychological aspects of weight gain. Even so, think good thoughts. Research, yes the scientific research that the conservatives think is crap, is on your side. In the mean time, eat less, exercise and see your doctor. Oops, that line is probably plagiarized from somewhere. Sorry. Here is the link to the study:
