I think your advice is naive and does not solve anything. Its like saying "Money in / money out" is as absolute a fact as it gets. so I say "You have two options: Earn more, spend less, pick the one you like".
That advice might be true, bit its also totally useless in solving poverty.
The hole argument for different diets is based on alternative theories of how different foods affect your body and/or mind.
To take absurd example, maybe carrots move energy from building fat cells into a process that converts your blood to carrot juice. You could eat the same amount (in calories) of carrots and something else, spend all the energy and still end up with a different body.
That's what the debate is about. Just telling people to run more or eat less will simply not work. Running (Sports) by it self, is essentially proven to not be effective for weight lost. You can actually train fat people to run marathons.
- solidr53 10y agoSo what? Fat people running a marathon does not change the fact that calories in/calories out is, not the most effective, but the only way how this works. Any diets, workout routines, lifestyle changes, etc. will change in input/output ratio that will give different results.

From TFA: "Still, further research has shown that calories eaten are only part of what determines weight. Our metabolism reflects an interplay of things like genes, hormones, and the bacteria that populate the gut, so how much energy we absorb from what we eat varies from person to person."/
