Why are you eating too many calories?

I understand how you would be skeptical when I tell you "Hey, stop dieting! That's not a good way to lose weight!"

The mainstream weight loss advice tells you to "eat less and move more". This sounds logical: You know that you're eating too many calories, and moving at least a little bit more couldn't hurt either...

Unfortunately, the "eat less, move more" advice forgets to take one fundamental question into account: 'Why are you eating too many calories in the first place?'
Your body is actually very capable at balancing 'calories in' vs. 'calories out'. However, with out current eating habits, we don't properly give it the chance to do so.

So, if you don't know why you're eating too many calories to begin with, I understand very well why you would be skeptical when I tell you to NOT diet heavily.

What are your thoughts? Do you believe losing weight is just a matter of eating less and moving more?
