In Dieting, Magic Isn’t a Substitute for Science

We asked Dr. Jules Hirsch, emeritus professor and emeritus physician in chief at Rockefeller University, who has been researching obesity for nearly 60 years, about the state of the research. Dr. Hirsch, who receives no money from pharmaceutical companies or the diet industry, wrote some of the classic papers describing why it is so hard to lose weight and why it usually comes back.

What would you tell someone who wanted to lose weight?
I would have them eat a lower-calorie diet. They should eat whatever they normally eat, but eat less. You must carefully measure this. Eat as little as you can get away with, and try to exercise more.

Ask another family member to lose weight with you. This way, you can both watch what you eat and exercise together. Motivate each other to stay on the weight loss plan when either of you wants to indulge in a high-calorie meal or skip exercising for the day. Thanks.
