Yes. This is why shows like The Biggest Loser result in significant weight loss for the players.
A person is not obese because she eats beef instead of turkey, enjoys butter on her toast, or ate a slice of chocolate cake last Saturday. A person is obese because she consistently consumes more calories than she burns.
Being at one's ideal weight does not require restrictive dieting or hunger....unless the person is overweight and needs to lose weight to reach her ideal weight. "Diets" won't work in the long run unless they are actually a LIFESTYLE CHANGE and not a diet at all. Move more, eat smarter.
