Your Body Wants to Be Thin II

I found another interesting study about weight gain and nervous system activation.  In this study, subjects were overfed until they gained 5 kg.  As the authors hypothesized, this increased level of body fat elicited new responses from the sympathetic nervous system.

This shows how being just 10 pounds overweight can activate the body's response system and lead to long-term health problems if the situation isn't corrected.
