For all the Study We've Done, We've not Done Study Enough

    Diets, we haven't studied them enough -- weight loss, that is. For all the myriad of programs, devices and studies, study has not been study enough. 
   Here's one angle I want further searched: Is hunger the product of not eating enough to maintain the weight you have? That might seem an easy enough question to answer, but let's have further study, the same. Let's research how holding back on eating creates a need to splurge on eating -- on how it creates an insatiability.
   And how do you overcome such a hungering? If hunger is eating less food than what you need to maintain your weight, how are you ever supposed to lose weight? It has been said time and again that a starvation diet sooner or later ends with the person putting the weight right back on. Can we study that -- more? What percentage of time does it happen, and -- if there are times when it doesn't -- what makes the difference? Study attitudes. Study what the person tells themselves and whether they feel they are putting themselves through the wringer or whether there are some who teach themselves it is fun to go without food.
   Yes, a good study of losing weight is going to take a deep look at all the actors and factors: too much starch, not getting enough fiber, what and how much is eaten when you first get up and whether you eat just before going to bed, genetics, exercise, sleep, whether you abandon sugar or how much sugar you allow yourself, peer pressure, weight-shaming, etc.  
These are questions you say have already been answered. I say they need more study. For all the study we've done, we've not done study enough. And with all the study we do, study the attitudes and persistence of those who have overcome.
