| Mar 5, 2011 at 1:56 | comment | added | G__ | Maybe there's a better way to ask this question so that we have it on the site - because I think it's a critical concept for people struggling with their weight to stop blaming willpower and start looking at physiological reasons. Eating less is correlated with losing weight, but that does not prove that eating less causes weight loss. | |

| Mar 4, 2011 at 13:22 | comment | added | G__ | I think there are potentially interesting answers that wouldn't be "Oprah" answers (which I think are usually blaming "willpower" or "mental toughness"). But there can be some very interesting physiological reasons - the body starts craving foods more and more as it gets more depleted of some necessary resource (e.g. fats). For this reason, I voted to reopen the question; if it does get opened again, I'll try to write up an answer on this to reduce the Oprah factor. | |
