The next question when women lose and regain is their health compromised? Well, not only their compromised due to extra weight, but there is a study of post menopausal women who lost weight they tended to gain back fat, in the study 81% of what they gained back was fat and not muscle.
So of particular concern why is this such a problem for post menopausal women?
