Two Lancet editors make the case for a "great food revolution" - one where food that's healthy for both people and the planet is treated as something everyone deserves access to, not a privilege for those who can afford it.
A landmark research paper on why keeping weight off is so much harder than losing it: after weight loss the body burns fewer calories and ramps up hunger to pull the weight back on. It is biology, not a lack of willpower.
An expert workshop report on why preventing regain is the hardest part of weight loss: after losing weight, both appetite and metabolism adapt to pull you back. Here's what the science says.
A landmark study showing that after weight loss, your appetite hormones shift to drive regain - and those changes are still there a year later. It's biology, not willpower.
Six years after the competition, contestants had regained much of the weight - and their metabolisms were still burning hundreds of calories a day less than expected. A landmark look at lasting metabolic adaptation.
A review proposing that everyday environmental chemicals - in air, food, packaging, and household products - disrupt hormones and metabolism in ways that promote weight gain, alongside diet and lifestyle.
A foundational review showing you don't need to reach an "ideal" weight to get healthier - a modest 5-10% loss meaningfully improves blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
A study measuring body composition across the menopause transition: postmenopausal women had less muscle and more belly fat across every weight category - and the shift was most striking in "normal-weight" women.
A trial found that choosing weight medication based on a person's "phenotype" - the main driver of their eating - nearly doubled weight loss (about 16% vs. 9% at a year).
A deep review on "redox" biology - the balance of oxidation in your cells - and how it goes off-kilter in obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. Why oxidative stress and metabolism are inseparable.
