A bit of both, but mostly the latter

We have established that resistance to slimming can
be associated with a low metabolic-rate. This was most
striking in women who had been slimming for a
long time (r=0-55) and in women of lower bodyweight
(r=0-43) and with lower body fat (r=
0-43). Thus those with most fat to lose generally
lost more weight. This is consistent with the view
that some slimmers reach a plateau in their weight
losses after a period of time. At this point their
metabolic-rate has been depressed. Nevertheless,
two-thirds of our women who were carefully selected
because of an apparent plateau did lose weight and
must come within our category of self-deluders.
