If you have tried to lose weight, you know the story. You go to the doctor, the dietitian, SLIMFAST, Weight Watchers, and all they sing this song: Eat less, move more. This comes from a simplistic understanding of the human body, which translates to comparing your body to a bomb calorimeter: CALORIES IN, CALORIES OUT, energy balance, and the problem with obesity is too many calories, ergo, you eat too much.
