This is the first weight loss method that really works.
It works because it is based on a real understanding of the biological basis of fat formation and fat distribution.
Weight loss treatment involving dieting, increased physical activity, diet pills and bariatric surgeries was invented when obesity scientists believed that every single calories in food intake if not spent will be stored as fat mass in fat tissue. Those believe was in line with the anabolism and catabolism theories - (flawed theories). At those times, the theory “calories in – calories out" was unquestioned scientific dogma.
A few years back, it was realized that a significant amount of food intake lives in the body as metabolic waste.faeces, urine, sweat, breathe etc. (Significant and variable amount of the energy in food intake human body doesn’t use but excretes mainly through the digestive and urinary system.)There was a little confusion among people involved in research, prevention and treatments of obesity, but another theory was quickly invented. It was a “calories in – calories out over a prolonged period of time”. This theory is widely known as “the energy balance”.
In 2007 I havedebunked the “energy balance paradigm”.
Since early 2010, “The Association for the Study of Obesity (ASO)”, theUnited Kingdoms foremost organisation dedicated to the understanding and treatment of obesity, has removed from their website everything that mentioned calories in – calories out and the energy balance. Up to date of 30 March 2011 on “The web site of the Association for the Study of Obesity (ASO)” there is noting about calories or “energy balance”. The ASO used to run the ORIC, the Obesity Resource and Information Centre. The ORICdisappeared from the internet in the early of 2010.
The UK Government's Foresight Report 'Tackling Obesities: Future Choices', in 2007, 2008 and 2009 involving around 100 obesity scientists, was based on the “Energy Balance Paradigm”. It appears that all ForesightUK work related to the problem of obesity was not only fruitless, but it was also misleading.
It seems that since early 2010, Foresight UK doesn’t do any work on the obesity problem.
It appears that the “calories in – calories out” and the “energy balance paradigm” as a basis of understanding obesity have been abandoned byUK obesity researchers.

If medical scientists have a clear understanding about the causes of obesity there wouldn’t be one obese child and among adults, obesity will be as rare as it was just a few decades ago.
The obesity epidemic is a new phenomenon; particularly the severely obesity (morbid obesity) is a new phenomenon, unknown to any previous generations in human history.
The big obstacle to combat obesity is the fact that nearly “everyone thinks they knew” why people getting obese and nearly “everyone thinks they know” what people should do in order to lose excessive body weight. That belief is a product of bad science of weight gain/weight loss.
