This was the first article in Science News this week. Very interesting
article, and it may well be that regular dieting and weight loss is
not such a bad thing -- it might even be better in some ways than
maintaining a stable weight.

With a misrepresentation like your subject line, no wonder you
are called a troll and blown off by many. The permanent lifelong
calorie restriction shown cause longer lifespans in mice and many
other types of animals is absolutely NOT related to your history
of yoyo dieting. It *does* result in a stable weight for the simple
reason that it never ends until the subject animal dies.

I don't know who's right here Doug.

I am 76 and lost over 80 pounds over seven years ago. I was a little
too thin as you can see from the after pix and am up a very few pounds
feom there and that is where I hang (I do hang in spots LOL)

I also lost height from osteoporosis. I have to stay within 1200
calories (balanced) to maintain my current weight) If I move upo to
1500 I tend to gain but am stable using 1200.

Using an exercise bike and entering calories burned from other
exercise, it sure takes a lot to compensate for say 200 additional
calories a day!

Diva --

Great for you! Also you see 1200 as not something unfair but as a good
goal. And you have the numbers to prove it!

Excellent work and superb self-control!!!

Supah!
