The Homeostatic Mechanisms That Stop You From Losing Tons of Weight

Our bodies have evolved to deal with food scarcity for thousands of years. Food overload, that's pretty new. So the mechanisms that protect against weight loss are definitely much more powerful. But i'm still stuck on these rats atth all you an eet bofay eddie, because there's actually a reason why we study these mechanisms in rats as opposed to humans. In animals, we actually have control over a lot of things that we don't have when we do a clinical study. And so we can control the animal's environment. Their body weight is mostly dictated by their biology and the environmental pressures that we impose upon them.
