Slow and steady may not necessarily win the race when it comes to weight loss.

A new study found that obese individuals who regained their lost weight after dieting did so whether they were on a slow or fast diet.

Researchers found that dieters who used a more rapid weight loss plan were more likely to achieve their targeted goal.

Depression, obesity link studied

It's well known that depression and obesity are linked.

New research shows that it's common to crave junk food when you're feeling blue.

Among men, that's more true for those 60 and older. Women, on the other hand, suffer from a combination of obesity and depression at all ages.

As a woman's depression symptoms get worse, she is more likely to be obese. 

Doctors are looking for ways to treat depression and obesity simultaneously. If one is present, the aim is to prevent the other one from happening.

Enterovirus may up diabetes risk

New data shows that children who've had enterovirus are 48 percent more likely to develop Type 1 diabetes than kids who haven't. Researchers say enterovirus may change the child's immune system, increasing the risk of getting the disease. 

A study included several types of enterovirus strains, but not enterovirus D68, the strain reported this year.
