[Article] "What I learned about weight loss from spending a day inside a metabolic chamber: One of science’s best tools for understanding obesity is debunking myths about metabolism." [Metabolism basics explained along with some mythbusting]

Synopsis: The author spends a day sealed inside an NIH metabolism measuring chamber and uses the experience to explain how metabolism works and shed some light into common lore about metabolism.

This article addresses multiple times the notion that people have different metabolism rates, but concludes that it doesn't rise to the amount of being a major cause of our obesity.

The author, once overweight herself, subjects herself and her own notions about weight management to the NIH lab and its staff experts on metabolism.
