A 2017 study found that obesity now drives more early preventable deaths in the U.S. And doctors now know that excess body fat dramatically increases the risk of serious health problems, including Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, depression, respiratory problems, major cancers and even fertility problems. The vast majority of American adults are overweight nearly 40% are clinically obese. But finding answers to the weight-loss puzzle has never been more critical. “There’s this notion of why bother trying,” says Hall. That may be depressing enough to make even the most motivated dieter give up. Over time, 13 of the 14 contestants Hall studied gained, on average, 66% of the weight they’d lost on the show, and four were heavier than they were before the competition. What he didn’t expect to learn was that even when the conditions for weight loss are TV-perfect–with a tough but motivating trainer, telegenic doctors, strict meal plans and killer workouts–the body will, in the long run, fight like hell to get that fat back.
