Your body resist weight loss efforts

IANS Jun 24, 2011, 05.34pm IST
If you've been trying to lose weight and suspect your body is working against you, you may indeed be right.
"When obese people reduce their food intake too drastically, their bodies appear to resist their weight loss efforts," said Gregory G. Freund, professor at the University of Illinois College of Medicine.

"They may have to work harder and go slower in order to outsmart their brain chemistry," added Freund, who led the study.
He particularly cautioned against beginning a diet with a fast or cleansing day, which appears to trigger significant alterations in the immune system that work against weight loss.
