I just watched an episode of House and he diagnosed a girl with Cushing’s – an illness that can cause obesity.
How is that possible? I was under the impression that our bodies use energy we get from food, and if it doesn’t get the food it’ll burn fat resulting in us getting slimmer – how can a disease change that?
How does it not go against some laws of thermodynamics? Maybe I’m just being silly.

Lipodema is another condition that can lead to obesity. Is that particular case fat is stored on the body and cannot be completely removed by diet and exercise. The most effective treatment is liposuction.
