Why is weight loss so difficult?

According to the British newspaper The Daily Mail on December 8, the instinct for people to seek food lies in the fact that food is a necessity for our survival, and there is a complex system in the body that controls food intake.

The latest research shows that after weight loss, the levels of circulating hormones that affect human appetite often lead to binge eating and weight rebound. Over millions of years of evolution, human physiological functions have been developed, allowing us to adapt to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, which requires high levels of physical activity to endure famine periods. During famine periods, the human body needs to store a certain amount of fat to withstand harsh external environments. Therefore, the human body's physiological functions are to store and preserve fat.

To understand the human body's physiological functions, we must understand what dynamic balance is. In dynamic balance, biological systems are primarily regulated through negative feedback systems. The regulated conditions, such as changes in body fat, will cause the body to make a response opposite to the change until the state of the regulated content returns to the "set point," and it is not difficult to understand why weight loss is so challenging.

Since we are still in an environment prone to obesity today, the problem of obesity remains. Therefore, we can no longer rely on the body's instinct to regulate fat content and should rely more on intelligence.
