Going back to an old unhealthy lifestyle is largely irrelevant. The discussion here is what causes obesity. The answer, by and large, is eating too much food and doing too little exercise (either in quantity or strenuousness). So yes if you make a change, you'll lose weight, and if you change back, you'll gain the weight back. It's tautological.
- tsimionescu 5y agoNo, that is the question you are trying to ask. But the real question is "why are so many people eating too much food now and/or doing too little exercise?". Somewhat related, why is losing weight long-term harder than kicking a heroin addiction? Ending the question at "people eat too much food" is like finding out that since the last decade 30% of people have started falling and breaking their legs every year, and saying "people are clumsy and the concrete is hard, what's more to discuss?".
