Sorry to post something you found depressing. I found it encouraging that

scientists are finally figuring out that dieting doesn't work.

What I found disturbing about such a 'study' is that -

1) it didn't utilize information from previous studies like the army 'survival'

study where young healthy men who hadn't any body concerns ended up regaining

more than beginning weight after a 'survival' deprivation weight loss.

2) Concluding that the 'hunger' sensation hormones levels were (ONLY?) effected

after dieting could be a misleading assumption? Has a large, general study been

made of a broad selection of miscellaneous ages, body types etc. to find what

general levels exist within the human population? Could it be that those with

NATURALLY occurring 'low' levels of these hormones are 'predisposed' to weight

problems? (think thyroid, insulin and other hormones and related conditional

difficulties)

3) the 'brass ring' magic fix seduction of - hmmm, low hunger hormone levels

supplemented by MEDICINE = bye bye weight problems . . . gets my hackles up and

radar going big time.

NOT that I want to pooh-pooh any and all research that could reveal helpful

information, its simply that my trust of EXternal experts has taken a big back

seat position to keeping my INternal directional sources the loadstone for my

body's needs.

Honoring my body has more respect for IE and a better track record than honoring

medical science ever earned for me.
