DALLAS
Chandler Tucker is like a lot of people--she dieted and then gained the weight back.
She was getting geared up for spring break and went on an 800 calorie a day diet.
She stuck with it for nearly a month.
"It was easy, Chandler said. After the first couple of days I just got the hang of it."
And the pounds dropped like crazy.
"When you eat that clean and differently than I did before, I lost about 10 to 12 pounds before spring break really quickly, Chandler said.
But her weight came back and researchers at the University of Melbourne may have discovered a key reason why.
Researchers put 50 overweight men and women on an extreme diet of about 500 calories a day.
After eight weeks they lost 30 pounds then over the next year regained an average of 11 pounds.

Lost weight then gained it back? Maybe we can blame it on our hormones
