300,000 people die every year from Obesity. It&#x27;s our #1 killer. And it can be solved by eating less.<p>See this study in the NEJM:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nejm.org&#x2F;doi&#x2F;full&#x2F;10.1056&#x2F;NEJM199212313272701" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nejm.org&#x2F;doi&#x2F;full&#x2F;10.1056&#x2F;NEJM199212313272701</a><p>Discrepancy between Self-Reported and Actual Caloric Intake and Exercise in Obese Subjects<p>Of all the &quot;diet resistant&quot; subjects studied, ALL of them (100%) were grossly underreporting actual calories consumed and overexerting physical activity. Some of the people in this study were on medication because doctors had believed their self-reported numbers and believed they may have had thyroid or other metabolic problems.<p>Remember that &quot;bariatric surgery&quot; is just a way to get people to eat less by making it physically impossible to overeat. (Of course, people still manage.)
