(15,458 posts)you didn't read the article. The weight loss resulted in their metabolism and lipids going way down.
They are not gaining the weight back from eating the wrong foods, they are gaining the weight back even cutting down their calorie intake and increasing exercise. To add insult to injury their lipids, which controls hunger, have also decreased.
Eating less, exercise more, and fighting hunger.
But hey, let's throw people to the wolves because you are perfect. why should my insurance dollars pay for someone who breaks their legs falling down their stairs? I don't have stairs, why should I have to pay for people purposely having stairs in their homes? Why should my brother have to pay taxes for education, he doesn't have any kids. He have to subsidize childhood vaccinations either. Why should I be forced to help pay for infertility treatments for strangers, I have kids.
We do these things because they are the right thing to do. Because if we don't as a society we would fail. Everyone for themselves would lead to chaos.
