[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not put too much stock in Maintenance Phase.  They did an episode on a topic on which I am a subject matter expert and the research was completely shoddy.  They missed key publications.  Their product is a product designed to generate buzz and likes, like everything else.  Plus obviously she has an agenda to advance.  Researchers need to be neutral.[/quote]

So fat people haven’t been treated poorly by health care providers?
So fat people don’t suffer from eating disorders?
[b]So it’s really just a matter of calories in/calories out, and if fat people just had some more self-control and will power, they could fix themselves.

Is that what you’re saying? Because those are the big agenda items of Maintenance Phase, and if they’re way off base, please enlighten us. [/quote]

There have been studies done of some of the people who appeared on the biggest loser. One of the guys was a great success story but the follow up is more interesting. Google for the info. He was followed for years by researches interested in the subject. To maintain his weight loss he had to maintain an almost starvation diet. His body was more efficient in storing and maintaining fat. We know genetics plays a big part of this and many twin studies have been done. There are differences in how bodies react to calories so to say it is a matter of calories in/calories out is not helpful.[/quote]
