I'm just going to say that I vastly prefer the—subjective—measure of eating healthily than counting calories.

  The problem is that many people so fat that they unable to move under own power claim to be eating healthily.

    Yes well it's the same thing as an alcoholic saying that they're not alcoholic. I said "subjective" but we have a pretty good idea of what constitutes a healthy diet—and it's one that contains a lot more vegetables than the average human eats as the original comment advised.

  Which method works best varies person to person. But how they work, in the context of weight loss, is identical. That being, lower calorie consumption. This goes for intermittent fasting, too. The trouble is that eating healthy is hard, expensive, and time consuming. People largely don't want to do it. Counting calories can work for those people, as it may allow them to continue to eat the foods they love.

    > The trouble is that eating healthy is hard, expensive, and time consuming It definitely is time consuming because you have to cook your own meals (which a lot of people in my country do in any case). But "hard and expensive"? I don't believe it. I guess it could be expensive if you live in a country where vegetables and fruits are expensive, but this is not the case in my country—and I live in one of the most expensive countries in the world. And I guess it could be hard if you're a picky person or addicted to sugar/salt. Eating out and prepared meals are the best way to spend your money on unhealthy food.
