I don’t think anyone here disagrees with the premise that fat people can lose weight by eating fewer calories than they expend. What you are missing is that — for many people — your solution is akin to telling an alcoholic to just drink less. Yes, it would solve their problem, but for a variety of reasons it’s probably not gonna happen. Most fat people who want to lose weight have already tried eating less food. Just like many alcoholics have tried to cut down or stop drinking. Some of those people succeed, but many others don’t. The reasons why are far more complex than commitment and willpower.
