Obesity: Caused by Gallstones? 2007-11-26 12:37:01 Gallstones form in the gallbladder from solid material, mostly cholesterol. They may be as small as a grain of sand and reach the size of a golf ball. The silent gallstones are painless but the symptomatic gallstones cause abdominal or back pain.

Binge eating was also associated to weight cycling for women. Some people who deal with weight cycling tend to feel depressed, although gaining weight is not a failure and may disappear when eating habits change.
Researchers did not prove that fat tissues increase or muscle mass decrease after a weight cycle. However, studies showed that weight cycling has nothing to do with the metabolic rate, or how fast food energy is burned. This rate can be slowed down as people get older.
