It's a long article series, but IMHO very worth it.
In it, the authors posit that the body has a "lipostat", like a thermostat, but for regulating body fat and weight.
If you are breathing pure oxygen and burning more calories, you'll just feel hungrier and eat more to compensate; if you don't, you'll feel sluggish and tired.
The authors also claim that the most likely cause for the obesity crisis is that some environmental contaminant causes the lipostat to be mis-adjusted.
That makes it pretty hard to deal with obesity, so the author's advise is:
* move to a high altitude, since contamination follows watershed
* avoid jobs that correlate with high obesity rates
* avoid highly processed food, since each processing step has the option to add contamination
I am not sure if all of this is real or some of it is bunk, but I found some of the arguments quite convincing, so I'd encourage you to read it and form your own opinion. (Do NOT just rely on my summary, it doesn't do the article series justice).
