Q&A 8: Can You Help Me Further Solve the “Mystery” of Weight Gain? If you are someone who has struggled with weight management, you are very likely to have scratched your head at some point in your life when you gained weight without any apparent rhyme or reason. From a research perspective, the ease with which many people gain weight can be explained by two basic factors: (1) the fact that we’re human and (2) energy balance. Let’s take the human part first. In the world of weight loss research, you’ll find a long list of scientific terms that have been invented to describe our humanness in managing our weight. Researchers talk about “flexible cognitive restraint,” “reduced food disinhibition,” and “decreased food cue susceptibility” when analyzing weight loss patterns. But what do these terms really mean? “Flexible cognitive restraint” means that we sometimes stick with our weight loss plan, but other times we do not. When our thinking tells us to avoid a certain food, sometimes we do and sometimes we don’t. According to researchers, we need to be flexible in these situations. “Reduced food disinhibition” means that when we violate our own weight loss rules, we still don’t want to go crazy and eat everything in sight. “Decreased food cue susceptibility” means that the mere sight and smell of a food must not always lure us into eating it. All of these terms are ways of describing our human nature—as human beings, we not only take pleasure in our lives (including the pleasure that comes from food) but we also make mistakes and feel overwhelmed in some situations. The research on weight gain says that weight gain is a natural part of our human experience. Sometimes we gain weight easily simply because we are human! A second factor in easy weight gain is energy balance—or more precisely, the delicate nature of energy balance for many individuals. 210
