It is explained here, not in this article.

If you want to lose the kilos you've put on over Christmas, you may be interested in knowing that the hormones related to appetite play an important role in your likelihood of regaining weight after dieting. A new study confirms that people with the highest levels of leptin and lowest levels of ghrelin are more likely to put the centimetres they lost back on again.

This is called the 'yo-yo' effect, and it is noted in some people who follow such weight-loss programmes.
