calories in calories out isn’t true at all

as a simple example consider eating 100 calories of vegetables vs 100 calories of pure sugar. your body has to work a lot harder to digest one of those vs the other

A more importantly you’ll still lose weight if you eat 1200 calories of sugar daily if you’re burning 1500 daily.

and you’ll lose even more if those calories are not ultra refined carbs

Sure, but at this point we’re interested in helping people lose weight who just “can’t”.

Fix the major health problem, then refine the details.
