When it comes to losing weight, a lot of us think we the answer is no more complicated than the eat-less-and-exercise. Talk to any scientists who study this and the story turns out to be a bit more interesting.

Researchers have an answer for that and an explanation for those mysteriously skinny people who eat whatever they want as often as they want.
