"The article is crammed with detailed scientific evidence and quotes
from highly credentialed researchers. It’s also a compelling read,
thanks to anecdotal accounts of the endless travails of would-be
weight-losers, including Parker-Pope’s own frustrating failures to
remove and keep off the extra 60 pounds or so she says she carries.
In short, it’s a well-reported, well-written, highly readable, and convincing piece of personal-health-science journalism that is careful to pin its claims to published research. There’s really just one problem with Parker-Pope’s piece: Many, if not most, researchers and experts who work closely with the overweight and obese would pronounce its main thesis—that sustaining weight loss is nearly impossible—dead wrong, and misleading in a way that could seriously, if indirectly, damage the health of millions of people."
