Having recently subsribed to Dr Sharma's free feed http://www.drsharma.ca/ a story that smacked me in the face was about one of the most debated questions on obesity - the fact that not everyone is susceptible to weight gain.
Sharma identified a very significant point in his blog, which was that to prevent most cases of obesity, "principal contributors to weight gain in an individual" must be indentified as general studies for prevntion do not work.
Then going on to look at the brain being an issue (as mentioned in a previous blog) Sharma identified a very understandable point: "While some people may be quite happy with one piece of chocolate, others may need a whole box to experience the same level of satisfaction. Clearly, in a situation where chocolate supply is unlimited, the latter are more likely to overeat or have a much harder time controlling their intake than the former."
I can actually relate to this!
Ok I'm not obese, but I have friends who can buy a bar of chocolate, have one piece, and save the rest for later on the day. I for one could not do this!

I feel the urge to endulge myself now, to the shop I think.
