Half of this comment is wrong: It's not a matter of "simply" taking in fewer calories. Your body has a weight setpoint that it likes to maintain, and if you just decrease your caloric intake while eating the same type of food

I think that, between the earlier articles about this effect happening in the mainland US[1] and now Germany, it's safe to say that at this point the hypothesis that this is some benign phenomenon (e.g. cricket noises[2]) has been suff
