Trying To Eat Less Becomes More Important To Fend Off Middle Age Weight Gain

Another big showing of how stupid the experts are and a small showing of awareness.

"Lots of experts disagree over the seemingly obvious notion of keeping weight off by trying to eat less a debate that centers on whether the practice backfires, leading to binging and weight gain."

Disagreeing over this is like denying the effects of gravity.

It is bold-faced stupidity.

The problem is not that eating less, per se, results in "binging and weight gain." It is that the way we diet, i.e., by following expert diet advice, results in "binging and weight gain."

"Now a new study shows that practicing restraint becomes more important with age.

Women who participated in the study had more than twice the risk of substantial weight gain if they did not become more restrained in their eating.

'Some suggest that restrained eating is not a good practice,' said Brigham Young University professor Larry Tucker, the study's lead author. 'Given the environmental forces in America's food industry, not practicing restraint is essentially a guarantee of failure.'"

Clearly, caloric intake control is the most efficient way to control weight and an absolute necessity whether you "exercise" or not.

And BTW, "trying to eat less" doesn't mean squat.

Actually eating fewer Calories does.
