[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Food habits are a large cause of obesity. They are developed young. It’s pretty rare to see skinny kids with obese parents stay that way into adulthood. [/quote]

I was the largest in my family, and I didn’t pick up bad habits from my parents.  My mom always cooked from scratch, as do I.  Most of the people in my family are of normal weight, except me.  I have dieted my entire life, and the only way I lost weight was when I ate much less than the recommended amount.  In college, I would work out for 3 hours/day and eat only rice — this got me down to about 125 lbs, but I quickly gained everything back when I eased up a bit (3 hour daily workouts are not sustainable in the long-term, nor is eating just rice.). An MD at Inova’s weight loss clinic suggested I eat 1200 calories/day, but that was not helping me lose weight — I needed to eat about 1000 calories/day, which is really hard to do when you rely solely on “willpower”.  These WL meds help me to do that, plain and simple.  [/quote]

If this was a thing, we would have controlled studies showing this phenomenon for thousands of subjects at a minimum. But it’s not because it defies the laws of physics. That’s just the reality of 1000 calories a day. Unless you are 4 feet tall, and even then, it’s still starvation for any long term.

There are lots of factors to weight, but at the very core of it is the simple math of over consuming energy requirements. All the rest is stuff at the edges, but it’s not the kernel of why. [/quote]
