onc20e upon a myth

When I was very young and expectantly naive, I was told that the body gets used to consuming the same diet.  I was informed even if this diet is high in calories, it is irrelevant because the body is experienced in burning the same foods.  The only scholarly article I can find 20 years after hearing this is that bright colored signs trigger food cravings.  Anyone ever hear anything similar?  Any science driven research behind that source?  

OKIE!!!!   How the hell are you?  I have no answer for you about your diet question but, welcome back from waste-land that is the "the sleep apnea board".  I've missed your wry sense of humor, even if we didn't always agree.

I pretty much eat the same foods over and over again. It is what my family has cooked for decades so the same recipes get recycled. Don't know if my body was used to burning any of it though! Seems quite the opposite. It was so good that I hung on to it all. 

Nice to see you back!

Welcome back, your majesty!

Nice to see everyone again too.  I'm not really back, I see the shortcut for OH on my toolbar and usually even when I'm bored I choose not to check in.  I have good memories of most of the people here, the excellent entertainment source, and tons of knowledge I got for the surgery.  But overall it's always the same questions that could be answered by searching old posts, but hey I'm still an ********o of course I'm annoyed by little things like that.  Anyways do you still have your 2.0 forum?  Any changes there?  

If you weren't an asshole, we wouldn't love you.

To answer your easy question, since I can't answer the hard one...2.0 is a goner...the forum nans, who caused its demise are now goners too...it's a win/win...

We're good

Hmm, I don't remember you, I'm sure we would've hated each other.  

Nah...you loved me..that's WHY you don't remember me ..story of my life...big sigh...

My weight would stay stable for years and then I would go on a diet to wear a smaller size.  I would get to the goal and then slowly gain back to the higher weight.  Each cycle added more pounds and losing was harder than the time before.  I grew up in the 1950s and we ate whatever was in season or on sale at the grocery store.

My sister never dieted at all and is the same size as she was in high school.   I never read anything about it but do believe that there is something to your body being used to what it is fed and burning what it is fed until you slow down what you are putting in and then it starts to burn slower.

No science at all, just something I have always suspected.
