Again, no. The reason obese people are so obese is because they are never satiated. You can eat potato chips and drink soda all day, without ever feeling full. Secondly, it's an addiction to refined sugars and super simple carbs. I'm not arguing that calories aren't calories, but your body reacts differently to a Snickers bar than it does broccoli.
- kazinator 9y agoThe thing about calories is that the high side is easier and greater than the low side. But it is easy to accumulate with excess calories. There is a severe limit on how much of a deficit you can establish relative to a baseline energy intake, but a wide-open range in the area of excess intake. Furthermore, fat is easy to store but hard to mobilize. So if you eat 15000 calories one day, then create a 1000 calorie deficit over 15 days, it won't average out to the effect of a regular intake over 16 days. The body finds ways to economize energy use and hang on to the fat.
