Once upon a time,staying a healthy weight was easy.To lose weight you simply had to practise the reverse of home economics--spend more than you earned.Unfortunately for many,but perhaps not surprisingly,it turns out that people are rather more complicated than bank accounts.

To stay a healthy weight,you need a hormone(荷尔蒙)called lepton to work properly.It sends"I'm full"messages from the fat cells up to the brain,where they go,among other places,to the same pleasure centers that respond to drugs like cocaine.Fat people produce plenty of lepton,but the brain doesn.t seem to respond to it properly.Last year researchers at the Oregon Research Institute scanned the brains of overweight people and found their reward circuit(线路) were underactive.They were eating more to try to get the enjoyment they were missing.

There's a lot of evidence for the fact that most,if not all,of us have a set point around which our weight can vary by about seven to nine kilos,but anything beyond that is a real struggle.Making changes is hard,particularly if your body is working against you.So why not reject the traditional approaches and try some new method,based on the latest research,that work with your body rather than against it.

Several years ago researchers at the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore reported that when they gave rats very little food one day and allowed them to eat plenty the next,they showed virtually all the benefits of a permanent calorie restriction diet.The same goes for humans,according to Dr.James Johnson.

How does it work?Besides forcing the body to burn fat,it may also cause hormonal changes.Most people say that the diet takes a bit of getting used to,but is not as grinding as trying to cut back on an everyday basis.

Older dieters may remember something called brown fat.Unlike the undesirable white stuff; this was a dieter's dream.Instead of storing excess energy as fat,brown-fat tissue burned it o
