> I don't understand how counting calories can not work. It's the law of evergy conservation: energy in, energy out. It's very easy. Your calories in depends on your calories out, and your calories out on your calories in. The body regulates both intake and expenditure dynamically, so if you mess with one of them and don't change anything else, it's most likely just going to adjust the other one. This has been mainstream science for a generation or longer, read The Hungry Brain by Guyenet for a good introduction. > Certainly, i was never obese just slightly overweight.
