Talk:Weight loss

Poorly Organized and Idiosyncratically Edited Article

First, re-title to "Intentional Human Weight Loss" and start another article on unexplained human weight loss. Divide fat loss from lean body loss. Define fat storage as a function of energy homeostasis and fat loss as a result of energy input and output modulation. Define input reduction as calorie restriction. Define macro-nutrient restriction, fasting and modified fasting as forms of calorie restriction. Define surgical gastric volume restriction and surgically induced malabsobtion as "surgically induced caloric restriction". Define orlistat, various sympathomimetic amines and dietary fiber as pharmacologically induced calorie restriction. Discuss output modulation via exercise, cellular metabolism and thermogenesis. Discuss the "thrifty gene" hypothesis. Discuss hunger and reduction of metabolism as a consequence of intentional weight loss. Discuss set point theory. Discuss weight loss economics Weight loss fraud. Success and failure rates. Science of calorie regulation including hormone-like peptides. Risks and benefits of weight loss.

I don't mean to barge in and seem rude, but this article has been left to wither for over a year. If nobody objects within a week, I shall begin slowly editing it. Pupplesan (talk) 00:38, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Please do! It needs significant improvement as is. Also, what is up with that weight loss pyramid? What diet is it from? It's totally random and unreferenced. Marcipangris (talk) 07:06, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Weight Loss Strategies

Came here looking for accepted and referenced weight loss strategies (HIIT, weightlifting, aerobic stuff, % heart rate numbers) and found not a whole lot. Anyone with expertise please contribute. Decent sources: http://exercise.about.com/cs/cardioworkouts/l/aa022601a.htm and http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/busting-the-great-myths-of-fat-burning.html Not editing due to inebriation. Hic!

Effects of Rapid Weight loss

I think this article would benefit from an outline of effects from rapid weight loss and links to the associated conditions. ie loose skin. I'd do it myself but I'm not well versed in the topic and would probably hurt the article rather than help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.169.148 (talk) 04:03, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Recent spamming

Much of the recent spamming is sockpuppetry. spam report here. --Ronz (talk) 18:07, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
