Spend less money on food and more time working out. Problem solved.
Fat, like smoking, is a choice; ‘do what thou wilt’ just don’t ask me to pay for the results of your poor choices.
Eat fewer calories than you burn, you *WILL* lose weight, anyone saying otherwise is an ignorant idiot.
You are ignorant.
It is not “calories in...calories out”. Read up.
It is how your body handles fat, protein, and carbohydrates.
Our nation’s overweight problems are linked to our increased consumption of convenience foods and other foods that are high in carbohydrate counts.
In fact, the history of nutrition and diet studies is replete with baffled scientists trying to figure out why many people can't lose weight by eating less and exercising.
Calories are excreted. Measure those and you would have a point. The best indicator of excreted calories is speed of digestion. A couple hours of digestion will keep the calories moving. Some Americans diets cause multiple day digestion.
“Eat fewer calories than you burn, you *WILL* lose weight, anyone saying otherwise is an ignorant idiot.”
Actually, one needs to be an idiot to think a human body is like a car: gas in, miles out.
The types of food you eat and your body’s hormones have a huge impact on how much your body stores and how much it passes thru. That is a big part of why we tend to gain weight as we age - less estrogen and testosterone, both of which tend to use up fat.
The US government has been pushing a low fat, high carb diet since George McGovern - yeah, him - pushed it in the Senate in the 70s. And after 40 years, obesity and diabetes are up. From what I’ve seen, my Mom was right in the 60s: if you want to lose weight or control your weight, eat proteins and fat in moderation and try to minimize carbohydrates.

But you are forced to pay for it. Should the govt force healthy choices on us?
