Here's an interesting article on weight loss and regain issues. I certainly don't want to discourage anyone from losing weight, especially those who are on P1 of IP and having success.
I consider myself a "success story" because I initially lost 80 pounds on IP and have kept most of it off for 3 years. I'm currently on a reboot for 20 pounds, but I've been playing with those 15-20 pounds for a while now.
The research in this article explains a lot about weight loss and the tendency to regain some or all of the weight.
I am so thankful for IP and the sense of control that it has given me. However, it greatly relieves to read that my loss and gain of these 20 pounds is documented scientifically and has a metabolic basis. It does not make it easier for me to lose those 20 pounds but at least I have an explanation.
Thoughts, anyone?
