Losing weight to stay healthily slim is generally regarded as a positive thing, but in 2019, a study published in the British Medical Journal showed that there could be problems associated with losing weight later in life. Based on data gathered from 36,000 subjects in the U.S. National Health & Examination Survey, it turns out taking off pounds in middle age and late adulthood may actually raise your risk of dying prematurely, especially if you have an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, cancer, or heart disease. The important message from the researchers: “Try not to gain weight while you’re young and when you’re older focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.”

These are a pretty good description of how nutritional guidelines need to work, don’t you think?
