Why We Eat (Too Much): The New Science of Appetite https://amzn.eu/d/0RfG9MO

There are a lot of people on here who have been brain washed by the diet industry. They love the restrict/ half starve to drop lots of weight and then bounce back to a bit heavier. The amount of disordered eating threads on MN makes it resemble a pro ana site at time.
