Weight loss follows 2 basic laws of nature

Law #1
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another

You don’t gain weight spontaneously. You gain weight when you consume excess energy, or calories that your body doesn’t burn.

This excess energy, in most cases transformed to fat in the average adult. You don’t lose weight from eating special foods or following magic diets. You lose weight when you consume fewer calories that your body needs to maintain your weight. This forces your body to use stored energy from either body fat, stored carbohydrate (glycogen), or muscle (protein).

Law #2
When the calories you consume equal the calories your burn, your weight remains stable. To lose weight you need to consume less than you burn, in other words you need to create a calorie deficit

The bottom line is not what you eat, but how much you eat vs. burn
