> I think what people usually miss about statistical results is that it's just a corelation. It is not (just) a correlation. There is direct relation between what your body needs as energy and what calories are in your food. It is true for each and every single person, not just statistically over entire population. Our bodies are physical entities that follow physical laws of conservation of energy. Because we can't create energy from nothing, every calorie expended as heat or work has to be consumed. The only way to eat less calories is to expend less heat and work.
