The obesity epidemic has been around for about four decades. What have we learned in that time that can help those struggling with weight loss today? USA TODAY health reporter Karen Weintraub asked just that. She wrote a six part series for USA TODAY called 'Rethinking Obesity."

She sat down with the team at 5 Things to share some of what she learned, including the fact that it's not your fault you are fat. What sleeping more can do for your weight loss, the real benefit of exercise and so much more.
