[QUOTE="Beating-My-Betes, post: 2459215, member: 532959"] I (not only me, of course) posit that CICO imbalance is what actually leads people to either gain or lose weight. And yes, it's also implicated in becoming obese. The distinction I make is that whereas overweight is what someone becomes over Xmas (Too many mince-pies; too much sofa), and can often be 'easily' corrected by the obligatory January gym-membership, obesity for many is psychological in nature. So, I'm not saying the mechanism by which the body gains or loses is fundamentally different. I'm saying that it's not effective to tell the obese that they just need to eat less and move more, when for many the underlying psychological issues remain unaddressed. That's why I hinted that anyone looking to try and decode obesity (at least if their plan is to effect real, lasting change), is wasting their time and a lot of money looking into insulin. [/QUOTE]
