    Yeah, it is not easy.

    We seem to have primarily high calorie foods. The reason people change diets to get some low calorie ones that keep them feeling full.

    Another thing, but perhaps not as much related to losing weight is that food doesn’t exactly work like most people think i.e. it isn’t that we consume something then we get energy from it and then we excrement it. In reality our body absorbes the food and uses it for other functions. So unhealthy food still affects us negatively.

      Most people don’t realize we loose weight by breathing, not excrements. You breath in O2, you breath out CO2. Same volume (since gases have more or less the same volume per molecule), but 37.5 % heavier. That’s how you loose weight.
