Excess fat only occurs when there is a difference between calories consumed vs. burned. It could be 10calories per day, it could be 1000.

Yep, this is it. The reason we are fat is a simple equation: we eat more than we use. The end. Out of all the stupid little diets I've tried over the past 2.5 years, including "Body for Life", zero carb diets, South beach, all of it, I started losing weight instantly when I stopped eating as much. That's what did it.
Over the course of almost two years, I've lost 60 lbs without going on a "diet." Hell, I've lost 40 lbs of it without going to the gym or even exercising more. Hell, exercising AT ALL. I don't exercise. I used to, but I stopped going when I noticed I still lost weight when I ate less.
Sitting at my cubicle all day, I burn around 1500 calories per day by regular body functions. If I eat more than 1500 calories, I gain weight.
You can even eat fucking McDonald's every single day if you want, just don't eat more than 1500 calories. You'll have horrible cholesterol and other life-threatening side effects, but you won't be overweight.
I went on what I call the "Lasereth Way of Living." He showed me the way and it worked absolutely perfectly.
Breakfast: nothing.
Lunch: Michelina's microwave meal, not to exceed 300 calories. One meal is usually between 190-350 calories.
Dinner: Anything, but do not exceed 800-900 calories.
I dropped weight to the point of people thinking I got gastric bypass surgery, and the last half of my weight loss included going to the gym NONE!
The average person isn't ready to handle the fact that you are going to have to go to one of two extremes to lose weight: hit the gym for an hour every single day, or eat less and starve your body so it uses your stored fat
And before everyone jumps on me for losing weight "the unhealthy way," I would rather lose weight the unhealthy way than go to the gym every single day and see minute results. And believe it or not, I have excellent blood pressure, cholesterol, and muscle mass!
