Remaining at the optimum weight requires one important habit: eating the same or fewer calories than we burn off. It's a simple calculation: if we consume higher calories than we are able to burn, we'll gain weight. If we consume about the same calories that we burn, we'll remain at the same weight. And if we consume fewer than the calories we burn, we'll lose weight.

The human body must eat...that's just a certainty. Getting the best nutrients from the fewest calories is the key to maintaining a healthy diet. Many people consume higher calories that provide less nutrient which results in a diet destined to make fat rather than providing energy.

It isn't that consuming food "contributed" to obesity; we have to eat. What causes obesity is not remaining vigilant about consuming fewer calories than we burn. If we're sedentary, we're not burning many calories and if we eat much more than we burn, we'll get fat.

Why are fat people more likely to cry?

As you regularly see in documetaries which focus on morbidly obese people, they cry much more than healthy individuals. This is because the obese are often emotionally dysfunctional and wallow in self-pity. Rather than take responsibility for their health, they lie to themselves and imagine themselves in the role of helpless victim, thus the tears. Once they are willing to face the fact that they are the ones responsible for the terrible condition they are in (and can lose weight by simply consuming less calories than they use), then they can choose to take control of their eating - or not. This same behaiour is often seen in other addicts, particularly alcoholics.

Do you burn more calorie if you are more fit?

No. obese people have a lot more fat on them than people that are working out. So if you're working out and you're fit then you are going to lose more and look a lot skinnier than the obese person... and the obese person needs to work a lot harder then the person who's fit because they have a lot more to burn off.Alternative answer:By the fact that an obese person weighs more, and has a larger body to support, it is a logical assumption to make that an obese person 'needs' more calories to maintain the same weight.However, the amount of muscle mass a person has will also dictate how much energy is used, and this may vary substantially between obese people.
