New Research published yesterday reveals how fat cells retain a memory of obesity after weight loss, and how this could impact your ability to maintain a healthy body composition.
I did observe in my practice that people would often regain weight so there's something to that, but another factor was that they often lost weight through unsustainable crash diets, and reverted to their previous eating habits once they lost the weight, instead of an enjoyable healthy lifelong dietary change that they could commit to without feeling "deprived".
There are behavioral and metabolic components, which also interact. Hard to disentangle in free living humans. The 100 Cal "snack packs" of cookies probably don't help...

The law of specificity at work at the cellular level. Cool insights.
The inside of your body isn't a homogenous blob... how about that!
