Some things happen because of a confluence of factors. Predisposition,
environment, denial or lack of dedication are the factors that need
to be there for one to become obese.


Which is what I said. Although I don't give predisposition as much
credit as some people. I think it is wrong to blame the result on the
predisposisiton.

Numerous people have no motivation, ambition, hate exercise, eat junk,
and do not gain weight. Why? Because they have no predisposition
towards weight gain.


All people have predisposition to gain weight, it just requires
different amounts of food. If you take one of those skinny big eaters,
forces him/her to sit still (which would be very diffecult, because that
type tends to be hyperactive and can't sit still for a minute wihtout
tapping the feet and fingers) all day and eat huge amounts of food, the
person will gain, unless there is some illness that prevents it.

Some people need to do moderate exercise and not eat some "evil food"
and they maintain well. Those are the ones that have a moderate degree
of that predisposition.

Some people feel starved on any kind of diet and despite loads of
efforts, give up, overeat etc, feeling awful yada yada. Those,
probably, have a high degree of predisposition. (or have not yet found
a good diet)


When a person eats less, hunger appears. If the person does not react on
the hunger, the hunger goes away, because the body adjusts.

calorically. And I exercise quite a bit. It is not going away.


This is going to sound like a snipe provocation, but I really do think
it might solve your problem: Have you considered psychological therapy?
It might be a kind of compulsive thought patterns.

forgot to add: Or it could be that there is a specific one thing your
body is crying out for (i.e. not extra volume nor extra calories). I'm
often hungry when not LC, because I don't get the protein I need. On HC
I'm extremely hungry all the time, but if I make sure I get my proteins
even on HC, then I'm not hungry.
