Weight & Genetics
The genetic/weight reality is that some
of us have bodies that are naturally plumper than others. Such individuals
are genetically designed to hold onto fat no matter how much they starve
themselves.
In a range of studies using different methodologies,
people living in similar environments and gorging on the same excessive
high-calorie diet often weigh radically differently.
Some individuals plump up quickly, while
others remain gangly, and everything in between. That variability was
dramatically demonstrated in the classic 1970s prison study, published
in Clinics in Endocrinology and Metabolism, where volunteers tried to
gain weight, but some couldn't no matter how much they ate, including
one inmate who was eating almost 10,000 calories a day.
Meanwhile, identical twins, whether raised
separate or apart and no matter what they eat, won't ever significantly
differ in weight.

Obesity and Weight Loss
Obesity is now the "trillion dollar disease". This reflects
the social costs of obesity, in health and lost production, as well as
the weight loss drug profits that might be made for any pharmaceutical
company that finds a drug-cure for obesity. The search for viable weight
loss medications continues, although pharmaceutical weight loss products
still have significant side effects.
