'The Fat Doctor UK' featured on LBC radio, and snippets of this interview started making their way around social media.
On one side of the argument, if you eat fewer calories and exercise more, you will lose weight. Not a particularly controversial position to hold.
On the flip side, you CANNOT lose weight for more than a few months at a time and eventually you will regain that weight.
Unfortunately, whilst this kind of journalistic argument about weight loss and dieting is great for clicks, it's actually pretty useless at informing you as the audience.
So, what's the truth? Is the Fat Doctor UK correct in that you will definitely regain weight in the first few months?
Let's discuss the science, but more importantly let's discuss the nuance that's being overlooked.
