Don't go on a weight-loss diet if you're not obese..., Harvard study hints

Daily Mail  

Going on a dramatic weight-loss diet when you're not obese could actually harm your health years later, a major study suggests. But they believed lean people who underwent dramatic weight loss had higher levels of hunger hormones, making them more likely to crave junk food. Results also showed that lean people who lost their weight by following a fad diet or commercial weight loss program were most likely to get fat later in life. The above graph shows the weight change after ten years in people who were considered lean or obese at the start of the study and underwent extreme weight loss of up to 9.9lbs. He said that weight loss likely led to biological changes in lean people that put them at higher risk of piling on the pounds later.
