If you have been trying to lose weight for a very long time and it seems that you can't or you are eating the right things but the weight keeps coming back on.... there is new science behind it. Well it turns out that the long-used rule about reducing 3500 calories and losing a pound is not accurate and can ultimately doom the dieter. This is the conclusion reached by Dr. Kevin Hall and colleagues at the National Institue of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney diseases. They authors who published in the Lancet have a new model for how a body responds to changes in calorie intake. The model shows that lasting weight loss needs to have two phases. The first phase is a more aggressive and temporary behavior followed by a more relaxed but permanent change in behavior so that the weight does not creep back on.
According to this study a few extra few calories can cause weight gain. Furthermore the same increase in calories will result in more weight gain in a heavier individual than by a lean person.
