Jim Katsoulis argues that being overweight comes down to eating more calories than your body needs, not metabolism or menopause. He uses a thought experiment: leave someone in the woods for a month with limited food, and their weight will drop. The mechanism is simple: reduce your average daily calories and your weight changes.

If you're overweight, it's because you're over consuming calories. It's not because your metabolism, your menopause, your insulin resistance. It's because you're consistently overeating for the weight that you want to be at. And if you don't believe this, what do you think would happen if I dropped you off in the woods for a month and then picked you up? Do you think you'd be the same weight, or do you think you would have lost weight? I say this to you so you can get crystal clear that you can absolutely change your weight. You just need to reduce the average amount of calories you're consuming over time.
