Could it be that your past eating habits are making you hungry now?
Have your fat cells turned on you, hoarding your calories so that you feel hungry, despite having eaten enough to meet your actual energy demands?
It may that eating a low-quality diet changes the behavior of fat cells and thus has a greater influence on hunger and weight gain than the sheer number of calories we take in and burn off.
That is the hypothesis behind a new study on overeating and weight gain published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
