From healthy diet plans to helpful weight loss tools, here you'll find WebMD's latest diet news and information. Having already seen that 3kg of extra weight makes a big difference to uphill running speed, we went to a running track for thenext experiment, to see what difference that extra weight would make when running on flat terrain. So again my legs carried me as fast as they would go for a kilometre, but this time removing the 3kg backpack didn't prove such an advantage. In fact the time difference caused by the additional weight was just five seconds per kilometer. But then I added it up and realised that over 10km race it makes 50 seconds difference, so maybe it's not to be sniffed at. And again, the slower or heavier you are, the greater the difference that weight loss will make to you.
In short, the computer model shows the animal should have a target body weight that hovers above the level in which it loses weight, and below which it tries to gain weight. But their simulations show there isn't much of a negative effect on energy stores when a weight surpass this optimal level. What this means is our subconscious controls that fight against becoming overweight are weak and easily overpowered by the immediate reward of tasty food.
