@fitnessbeyondtime01: The laws of thermodynamics make perfect sense. So counting calories can help you lose weight. The problem is that we are human beings not calculators. We are controlled by hormones. Nutrition is simple! Your gut bacteria doesn't care about the laws of thermodynamics or how colourful your food is. The body just wants proper nutrition. Start controlling insulin people and you will see first hand how easy it is to get in shape
