Dieting when you’re not obese can actually do more harm than good, a new study suggests.
A study done by Harvard University found that people who are already thin that lost 10 pounds had a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes a decade later — and were also more likely to gain weight later in life.
After observing medical records over 10 years on average, scientists found that lean people who went on an extreme diet gained between 4.4 and 17 more pounds than their peers — but obese people who participated in four of the programs lost between 3.5 and 1.3 more pounds than their peers. “However, we now know that such observations are supported by biology that unfortunately entails adverse health outcomes when lean individuals try to lose weight intentionally.”
