It's simply a fact your body cannot store excess energy as fat without insulin.
The bigger issue is your body can't use fat as energy when insulin levels are too high.
If you want to lose weight AKA burn off your excess fat stores, you need to reduce your insulin levels, either by eating fat/protein and avoiding sugar and/or intermittent fasting.
Insulin levels are high from diet sodas and sugar substitutes. Sugar substitutes do two things: 1) trick the brain via the tongue that sweet ( sugar) is being eaten and therefore release insulin to digest perceived sweet 2) the person adds calories in other ways because they are counting on the zero calories to level the playing field. Burning off fat stores is hard when the majority of people sit on their ass all day. People love their sweets and zero calorie sweets are the worst. It is as simple as calories in and calories out.
I guess that’s one way to do it. I just haven’t seen it work. Judging by the waistlines most people ignore the fact that the obesity epidemic doesn’t include the just overweight people. I bet only 10% of the US is within it’s BMI. And that’s being generous.
It's not as simple as calories in/calories out.
