Some illnesses and medications can cause loss of appetite and the body goes to it's 'fat storage' to stay healthy and to feed off of until something changes. In the few weeks I was on Vicodin [had my wisdom teeth removed] I lost over 15lbs, total. At my 'size' thats a lot of weight. I didn't exactly know I was going to get them out, otherwise I would have put on some 'extra' but, I was kinda blindsided by the sadist [aka dentist] so I did what I had to do. My appetite is starting to come back, a few people have been teasing me with what they have in their freezers - waffles, steaks, that sorta stuff; on Vicodin and other medications, your appetite can be supressed like it did to me, even some illnesses make it so you are so tired you cannot eat. With the amount of weight I lost, it will take some time to get it back to where I am 'healthy' again [Thanksgiving is in a few weeks, that will help out a LOT]. The 30lbs thing, sound a bit excessive to me; the more you have on, the harder your body has to work, and certain medical conditions are made WORSE by being over weight. I think the study sheds a bit of light on things, but, it also sounds like its telling people to put on eight; some people will use that as an excuse to over indulge.
