Why do people put on differing amounts of weight?

Michael Moseley and the BBC are doing some great work challenging the status quo recently, especially with diet.

If you're able to access iPlayer where you are, the programme he did on fasting is well worth a watch if you have an hour spare.

I have a lot of time for Michael Moseley, but recently his "Trust me, I'm a Doctor" TV show has been falling into the same traps as the medical establishment, making concrete claims based on the flimsiest of evidence.

In a recent show one of the presenters (admittedly not Moseley) claims "The good news is that we have shown that Olive oil really is good for us", which was a ridiculous claim based on the evidence presented.

Yes, it seems the more mainstream the program the more they feel they need to simplify it.

Do you mean "Eat, Fast and Live Longer"(https://vimeo.com/103656060)? If so, it was great. Totally changed my view on fasting (I now-a-days do 16h fast/day).
