THIS IS 100% FACTUALLY WRONG!
If you burn more calories than you ingest, you WILL LOSE weight 100% of the time.
You can develop high cholesterol or high blood pressure if you eat all fried foods with high sodium for your calories. Also low vital vitamin levels if you neglect fruit and vegetables or too much water/caffeine that flushes out important minerals.
I've lose 75 pounds so far in the last 12 1/2 months from burning more calories than I ingest, exercising appropriately and controlling how much alcohol I drink and bad food I eat. I'm about to go under 200 pounds for the first time in 18 years. I now take NO MEDICATIONS! No blood pressure meds, no cholesterol pills and no Protonix antacid pill for GERD as my heartburn is gone.
There is no magic pill, hidden diet or other special thing you can do.
It is really simple! 99.9% of the time it boils down to one thing: Sacrifice with commitment.

I know a few people that don't even believe in calories which is interesting. I know for myself, tracking calories and macros always got me where I wanted.
