Gaesser provides an overview of studies indicating why it would be more effective to shift the public health and clinical focus from weight to, instead, increasing exercise, and increasing fruit, vegetable, and fiber consumption.

Weight Science: Evaluating the Evidence for a Paradigm Shift, Linda Bacon, Ph.D., Lucy Aphramor, RD, Nutrition Journal (2011). www.nutritionj.com/content/10/1/9"Current guidelines recommend that "overweight" and "obese" individuals lose weight through engaging in lifestyle modification involving diet, exercise and other behavior change. This approach reliably induces short term weight loss, but the majority of individuals are unable to maintain weight loss over the long term and do not achieve the putative benefits of improved morbidity and mortality. Concern has arisen that this weight focus is not only ineffective at producing thinner, healthier bodies, but may also have unintended consequences, contributing to food and body preoccupation, repeated cycles of weight loss and regain, distraction from other personal health goals and wider health determinants, reduced self-esteem, eating disorders, other health decrement, and weight stigmatization and discrimination. This concern has drawn increased attention to the ethical implications of recommending treatment that may be ineffective or damaging. A growing trans-disciplinary movement called Health at Every Size (HAES) challenges the value of promoting weight loss and dieting behavior and argues for a shift in focus to weight-neutral outcomes.... Randomized controlled clinical trials indicate that a HAES approach is associated with statistically and clinically relevant improvements in physiological measures (e.g., blood pressure, blood lipids), health behaviors (e.g., eating and activity habits, dietary quality), and psychosocial outcomes (such as self-esteem and body image), and that HAES achieves these health outcomes more successfully than weight loss treatment and without the contraindications associated with a weight focus. This paper evaluates the evidence and rationale that justifies shifting the health care paradigm from a conventional weight focus to HAES."

"Emotional Overeating" Doesn't Exist, Jean Antonello, RN, RD naturally-thin.com/images/articles/emotional-overeating.pdfDon't let anyone label you a "compulsive" or "emotional overeater," Antonello advises. Intermittent under-eating (dieting, meal skipping, etc.) is the cause of overeating, she writes, explaining that dieting is a physical stressor on the body. When a dieter experiences additional emotional stress, the dieter "caves in" not because s/he is an "emotional overeater," but because the body cannot tolerate both the physical stress of dieting, plus the emotional stressor, Antonello writes. So, she says, the body ends the physical stress by going off the diet and "making up" the under-eaten calories while on the diet, so that it can successfully handle an emotional stressor. She says the so-called "emotional overeating" stops once the under-eating stops: meaning the over-eating was never due to poor emotional coping skills, after all, but to dieting.

Validity of claims made in weight management research: a narrative review of dietetic articles. Lucy Aphramor. Nutr J. 2010; 9: 30. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2916886/Abstract Background The best available evidence demonstrates that conventional weight management has a high long-term failure rate. The ethical implications of continued reliance on an energy deficit approach to weight management are under-explored. Methods A narrative literature review of journal articles in The Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics from 2004 to 2008. Results Although the energy deficit approach to weight management has a high long-term failure rate it continues to dominate research in the field. In the current research agenda, controversies and complexities in the evidence base are inadequately discussed, and claims about the likely success of weight management misrepresent available evidence. Conclusions Dietetic literature on weight management fails to meet the standards of evidence based medicine. Research in the field is characterised by speculative claims that fail to accurately represent the available data. There is a corresponding lack of debate on the ethical implications of continuing to promote ineffective treatment regimes and little research into alternative non-weight centred approaches. An alternative health at every size approach is recommended.

Abstract. Medicare's search for effective obesity treatments: diets are not the answer. Mann T, Tomiyama AJ, Westling E, Lew AM, Samuels B, Chatman J. Am Psychol. (2007) www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17469900"The authors review studies of the long-term outcomes of calorie-restricting diets to assess whether dieting is an effective treatment for obesity. These studies show that one third to two thirds of dieters regain more weight than they lost on their diets, and these studies likely underestimate the extent to which dieting is counterproductive because of several methodological problems, all of which bias the studies toward showing successful weight loss maintenance. In addition, the studies do not provide consistent evidence that dieting results in significant health improvements, regardless of weight change."

Healthy Lifestyle Habits and Mortality in Overweight and Obese Individuals www.jabfm.org/content/25/1/9.fullJ Am Board Fam Med January-February 2012 vol. 25 no. 1 9-15 Authors: Eric M. Matheson, MS, MD, Dana E. King, MS, MD and Charles J. Everett, PhD. The take-home with this study is that if we live a "healthy lifestyle," our risk of death is the same no matter what our body size is. In this study, healthy lifestyle is defined as not smoking, eating 5 servings of fruits and/or vegetables each day, drinking only in moderation, and moving our bodies for 30 minutes 12 days out of the month. "When stratified into normal weight, overweight, and obese groups, all groups benefited from the adoption of healthy habits (eating 5 or more fruits and vegetables daily, exercising regularly, consuming alcohol in moderation, and not smoking), with the greatest benefit seen within the obese group. " "Conclusions: Healthy lifestyle habits are associated with a significant decrease in mortality regardless of baseline body mass index." "...the adoption of each additional healthy habit decreased all-cause mortality between 29% and 85%. To put this in perspective, statins decrease all-cause mortality by 12% in individuals at high risk for cardiovascular disease."

The Effects of Playing with Thin Dolls on Body Image and Food Intake in Young Girls (2010) Doeschka J. Anschutz and Rutger C. M. E. Engels www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2991547/6- to 10-year-old Dutch girls (N=117) were randomly assigned to play with a thin doll, an average-sized doll, or Legos. After 10 min, they participated in a taste-test and completed body image questionnaires. No differences were found for any body image variables. However, girls who played with the average-sized doll ate significantly more food than girls in other exposure conditions. The thin dolls directly affected actual food intake in these young girls.

Warning/Caveat: These resources contradict HAES in that they claim to offer weight loss, or promote weight goals. There is no proven weight loss method that works long-term for more than a small percent of the study participants. SoCoHAES (and HAES) do not endorse or encourage weight loss goals for that reason. However, these links are unique & informative enough about causes of weight gain and tips for recovery from disordered eating to be included here.
