The Fat Trap (NY Times article)


The NY Times published an article about weight loss: The Fat Trap. Science shows that loosing weight is harder after you're over weight.

... to lose weight and keep it off, a person must eat fewer calories and exercise far more than a person who maintains the same weight naturally. (...) Years later they are paying attention to every calorie, spending an hour a day on exercise. They never don’t think about their weight.

As weight is one of the high correlated factors of life expectancy, it's interesting to know that we should strive to keep our weight down, and for the ones trying to loose weight (like me) it will be double hard to loose and maintain the lower weight.
