I cant go as going to a funeral.


the summary is interesting

A major reason why diets fail is that the body responds to energy restriction with a 'famine reaction' that increases appetite, reduces metabolic rate and alters circulating concentrations of hormones in a way that stimulates fat accumulation. Drawing on insights from her work leading a research team at Sydney University’s Boden Institute of Obesity, Nutrition, Exercise & Eating Disorders, Associate Professor Amanda Salis will discuss three scientifically based strategies that may reduce the intensity of the famine reaction, thereby increasing the efficiency of weight loss. Having personally struggled with binge eating and excess weight (and having now lost 28 kilos and kept it off for over 15 years), Amanda is passionate about her team’s research, which aims to help more people to lose excess weight and keep it off for life.
Thanks Juliana,looks very interesting
The body is a marvellous miracle but dont you just hate the words " famine reaction"...
So frustrating but at least we now have 5:2 to help us get round that!
