&gt; If you&#x27;re gaining weight, it means you&#x27;re eating more than your body can burn, so you need to eat less.<p><i>This</i> is spot on. So you have a slow metabolism&#x2F;bad genetics&#x2F;conditions&#x2F;etc? Sucks to be you. Sorry. It&#x27;s like that saying by Schneier about copy protection and the speed of light. If you want to lose weight, adjust your intake downwards. That&#x27;s all it takes. Hungry&#x2F;craving something? Try substituting something more filling (less calorie dense), or eating a little bit to see if that makes the craving go away.
