Summary Introduction

Concept introduction:

Research that has emerged on the physiology of obesity appears to challenge the stereotypical notion that morbidly overweight people are weak-willed and gluttonous. When an overweight individual drops their previous settling point, the brain triggers increased hunger and a lowered metabolism, and the body adapts by burning off calories in an effort to restore any lost weight.
