[quote=Anonymous]what I took from the NYT article is that losing a significant amount of weight and doing it in a relatively austere manner may permanently change your metabolism, causing it to be thrifty. Of course, this also depends on genetics. I guess the moral of the story is don't' get fat in the first place. THe second moral is that if you're already fat, losing weight might be easy, but keeping it off will be harder as your body fights to return to a higher set point. Nevertheless, people do manage to do it, but I would suspect a gradual and sustainable approach--a real lifestyle change and not a crash diet--is better in the long run.

I would advocate the basic principles of South Beath, phase II, as the introduction to a real lifestyle change, along with exercise. Moderate protein, healthy foods, lot so f fiber filled fruits and vegetables, stay away from fake fats and fake sugars, and move every single day. I would not advocate serious caloric restriction, however, since it seems like that basically backfires. [/quote]
