"Charles Darwin and his contemporaries postulated that food consumption in birds and mammals was limited by resource levels, that is, animals would eat as much as they could while food was plentiful and produce as many offspring as this would allow them to. However, recent research has shown that, even when food is abundant, energy intake reaches a limit, even in animals with high nutrient demands, such as lactating females. Scientists at the Research Institute of Wildlife Ecology in Vienna suggest that this is due to active control of maternal investment in offspring in order to maintain long-term reproductive fitness."No surprise.
As you descend the evolutionary chain (though an argument can be made that fat people are throwbacks but if you try to throw them back you will likely throw out your back) there is evidence of animals making an "investment in offspring in order to maintain long-term reproductive fitness," which human parents are too uncaring to make.
Wanna shed the pounds?
You have to make an "active investment" in consuming fewer Calories than you eat.
Period.
There is and there will never be any other way until the physical laws of the universe change, which is really unlikely to happen anytime soon.
