Well I guess we can agree to disagree. Do you know how many people I know including myself who eat far more calories then what I "should be" eating and still don't gain weight like I should if that were false. I was 242 and lost 25 lbs without exercise due to changing my eating habits and I was actually taking in more food than I was before and still lost weight.
Even my wife's friend who was over 200 lbs, went on a diet and she complained about eating too much. She went from eating 3 times a day to 6 and eating far more per serving and lost over 50 lbs! She tried weight watchers counting points & calorie counting and could not lose weight until she actually ate more, ate better, ate breakfast and balanced her meals. She does watch her calories but she is eating a ton more than ever and is losing weight.
Besides if you have to count calories most people are going to fail down the road. The best way to lose weight is eat balanced (fats, carbs,protein) and change your foods often.
There are plenty of foods out there that require more energy to digest then have calories. (negative calories) I am not a huge fan of any one "diet" because diets are destined to failure. But changing your habits to a sensible varied approach with some portion control will do just fine and everyone will succeed at that if they stick with it.
Sugar carbs. That's what is making everyone fat today. All the fat free food and food that turns into sugar quickly. Stay away from all boxed, canned and pre made foods and cook your own and you will gain health lose fat and increase muscle without killing yourself in the gym.
