re: Study of Biggest Losers finds that the body wants and will fight to be Fat

i think there are bases for the conclusion that it's much easier for some people to maintain and lose weight due to different metabolisms, and some of that is likely genetic in some fashion.

but I also believe that, even with those factors, eating the right things (which leads to proper portioning) can render almost everyone healthy (from a nutrition and weight standpoint, which leads to greater overall health).

And, that is both easier and harder than it may appear--easier because you can eat a lot of great tasty, affordable stuff and still be healthy; harder because commercially prepared, packaged, sold food is generally majorly fricked up + our government and the "food" industry have long propagated very dangerous dietary guidelines and habits.

Plus, as evidenced by that article, the go-to solution for so many "experts" seems to be drugs, rather than food/diet research, education, emotional/psychological support, etc.
