41、l，dieting can be effective，but the health costs are tremendous.Jules Hirsch，a research physician at Rockefeller University，did a study of eight fat people.They were given a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day1.After more than 10 weeks，the subjects lost 45kg on average.But after leaving the h

42、ospital，they all regained.The results were surprising：by metabolic measurement，fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving.They had psychiatric problems.They dreamed of food or breaking their diet2.They were anxious and depressed；some were suicidal.They hid food in the

43、ir rooms.Researchers warn that it is possible that weight reduction doesnt result in normal weight，but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non-obese people.
