its not _terribly_ difficult to lose weight and maintain healthy weight, so long as you can do one thing: control insulin.
the problem is that the modern food environment gives you 1000 ways an hour, to spike your insulin. which leads to a total breakdown in your natural healthy metabolism.
if people respected the dangers of modern food, they would have a chance at managing weight. but they have been trained to be ignorant, by the food industry and bad science. people think modern food - sugar, and refined white flour, processed foods - are harmless, or that a calorie is simply a calorie. its not that simple.
exercise does work, though. in the long run. but only because increasing muscle mass increases insulin sensitivity. which helps you to eat less. the notion of "burning calories" is a complete red herring sold to people by big food, its irrelevant to the process.
