Weight Loss Focus Is Ineffective And Harmful, Study Suggests - Focus On Improving Health Status Instead

Insanity and stupidity combined. Welcome to stupanity (tm) ©.
Dieting and other weight-loss efforts may unintentionally lead to weight gain and diminished health status, according to two researchers, a UC Davis nutritionist and an NHS dietitian, whose new study will appear in the Jan. 24 issue of the Nutrition Journal, an online scientific journal.

Rather than focusing on weight loss, the researchers recommend that people focus on improving their health status.
These excusinators are so detached from reality.

Their touchy-feely suggestion is akin to focusing on gravity when a plane that is too heavy cannot fly.

When people get too darn fat, things happen that make health status go south.

Instead of re-engineering the human (or gravity, for that matter), losing weight is the better and only possible option.

As to yo-yo dieting, which these stupanitous researchers address, the cause is clear - since nearly all diets are starvation diets, people get hungry, resume eating, find blessed relief from starvation, get bigger and fatter, want to lose weight, go back on the same or a different starvation diet, get hungry, resume eating and the cycle repeats.
