Many thanks, GS.

Part 9

Part 10 (final)

Gees, shoulve read it first lol

Interrestingly, my surgeon told me that when people have a bmi of 40 and over, diets generally don't work long term, because at that special number, our fat cells change at a celluar level and will always want to return to that number, he said that for most people with a bmi of over 40, surgery is really the only option. Optimistic isn't it. Bloody depressing too, maybe this is why, as we all know, that so many diets don't work. Will go off to read that link now.
Speak soon xx

Nice find, GS. Thanks.

Just read through their 8 part series on weight loss on that site. Very interesting! Thanks for the link!

I have heard that before..very interesting...

Very interesting, GS - I've put that info on my facebook wall, and bookmarked the site to read all the parts when I'm feeling a bit better.

Thanks!

This one mentions the different hormones that effect our eating habits.

Quote: "Welcome to part eight of The science behind weight loss, a Conversation series in which we separate the myths about dieting from the realities of exercise and nutrition. Here, Joseph Proietto, Professor of Medicine at the University of Melbourne, explains that once people become obese, their bodies are programmed to regain any weight they manage to lose"
