This is the experience of practically everyone who's ever tried to lose weight, not just me. You think we had an obesity epidemic that's growing if counting calories really worked?
> Besides, if people can really accurately count their calorie intakes and won’t overeat what they use up, then it is thermodynamically impossible not to lose weight.
This is false. The body is a self-regulating system. You eat less, the body can just burn less. You eat more, the body can burn more. What you eat and what you do also plays a huge role.
