“Overeating isn’t fueling obesity, it’s too many carbohydrates in our diet, researchers say,” Fox News reported on June 7. Eating fewer calories led to weight loss, eating more to weight gain. Studies have documented massive weight loss (north of 100 lbs) in many people who consume calorie-restricted diets consisting of white rice, fruit, fruit juice, and refined table sugar.

Calorie reduction appears to be the only factor that consistently predicts weight loss, whatever diet someone follows.
